Watford set up a home quarter-final with MK Dons after eventually seeing off Hashtag United in extra time. The Saturday evening tie was reversed due to the weather and played behind closed doors at Watford’s training ground, where United struck first but the Hornets hit back with two goals in as many minutes. Despite extending their lead to 3-1, Hashtag got back on level terms, before goals for Grace Garrad and Jo Wilson sent Watford through.
Jazmin Younger git the only goal as Portsmouth eliminated Oxford United, to set up a quarter-final at Plymouth Argyle or Cardiff City LFC.
