Manchester City reach the Women’s FA Cup final after a dramatic 3-2 come-from-behind semi-final win against defending champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea take an early 2-0 lead, but City gradually respond: Mary Fowler pulls one back with about four minutes remaining in normal time. Khadija Shaw then equalises in stoppage time, forcing extra time. Shaw scores again in extra time, netting the winning goal in the 103rd minute to complete City’s turnaround. With the victory, City set up a final against Brighton at Wembley Stadium on May 31.
The match arrives amid ongoing speculation about Shaw’s future, which she does not address in the game, focusing instead on performance. Multiple reports highlight her role in the late swing of the contest, including a second goal in extra time that seals City’s place in the final. In the buildup, she is also linked to potential interest from Chelsea, while City are finishing the season with both domestic success and an FA Cup final spot.
