Rachel Daly’s extra-time winner saw Aston Villa send WSL title-chasing Manchester City out of the Women’s FA Cup quarter-finals.
Captain Rachel Corsie gave Villa the lead after 20 minutes when her on-target header from a corner took a slight deflection off Esme Morgan and flew beyond goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck.
Deyna Castellanos equalised before half-time with a looping header and although Corsie missed a good chance to win the tie with the last action of normal time, Daly tapped home the winner from close range in the 97th minute.
