It came as part of their unbeaten domestic season in which they also won the WSL and the League Cup. Everton secured a historic victory to end Chelsea’s unbeaten run earlier this month.
Manchester City look like strong contenders to win the FA Cup, after building a six-point lead at the top of the WSL.
The likes of Tottenham and London City Lionesses will be hoping for deep FA Cup runs after excellent starts to their respective seasons.

There are nine teams in the competition who play outside of the top two flights in the Women’s National League.

There are then four teams from the fourth tier of women’s football also left in the competition. Those teams include York City, Chatham Town, London Bees and Swindon Town.
