By Hannah Pinnock At the start of the 2023/24 season, few could have predicted Tottenham Hotspur would be 90 minutes away from their first piece of major silverware in the women’s game. After three comfortable mid-table finishes in their first few seasons in the Women’s Super League, Spurs found themselves in the thick of a relegation battle last term. As a result, in March last year, previous manager Rehanne Skinner was sacked after her side suffered nine straight defeats in the WSL. Vicky Jepson took charge on an interim basis until the end of the campaign, steering the Lilywhites to safety ...

By Jamie Spencer Manchester United manager Marc Skinner said that he has achieved what he originally set out to do with the club when he first arrived by winning the Women's FA Cup for the fans. United got their hands on afirst major trophy in a landmark moment at Wembley by putting four goals past Tottenham Hotspur in a less than 20-minute spell straddling half-time. Since reforming a women's first-team in 2018, expectations of success have been high at a club that has commanded a loyal fanbase since day one. Nearly 5,000 supporters turned out for the first ever home game six years ago and We...

By Jamie Spencer Manchester United captain Katie Zelem said that lifting the Women's FA Cup at Wembley on Sunday was more than she "dreamed of" upon re-signing for her childhood club six years ago. Oldham-born Zelem was part of United's youth setup for the best part of a decade growing up but had to move on in order to start a senior career at a time when the club didn't operate a first-team squad. That all changed in 2018, with Zelem one of the original recruits after leaving behind Champions League football with Juventus. She then inherited the captaincy in 2019. "To be captain of this club ...

By Jamie Spencer FROM WEMBLEY STADIUM - For Manchester United, feelings of ecstasy and jubilation took over as the final whistle sounded at the home of English football on the hottest dat of the year so far. The FA Cup trophy was theirs, a first piece of major silverware for a club who finally took the plunge in professional women’s football as recently as six years ago.

By Jude Summerfield Manchester United won the Women's FA Cup for the first time ever as they eased to a 4-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon. A quiet first half sparked into life when Ella Toone finished off a flowing counter attack with a brilliant curling strike just before the break. Two goals in four second-half minutes made sure of the result as Rachel Williams climbed highest to head in Katie Zelem's free-kick to make it 2-0 before a disastrous mistake from Becky Spencer handed Lucia Garcia a tap-in. Spurs' capitulation then allowed the Spaniard to grab a...

By Jamie Spencer At Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon, Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur will lift the Women's FA Cup for the first time. Whoever wins, one team will make history for themselves. But this final also means a lot for the competitive status of the wider women's game in England. The FA Cup trophy has been exclusively the domain of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City for more than a decade. The last club outside the WSL's established 'big three' to get their hands on it was Birmingham in 2012, beating a pre-Emma Hayes Chelsea on penalties. Prior to the that Arsenal appeared ...

By Jamie Spencer The kind of consistency that underpinned Manchester United's fight for trophies on two fronts last season – in the WSL and Women’s FA Cup – hasn't been there in 2023/24. United have had some big highs this season, including thrashing Everton, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur in the first half of the campaign. None more so than a long-awaited first victory over Chelsea in the last four of the cup, the only domestic opponent they had never beaten. But home and away defeats to Liverpool, dropping points they weren't doing last season against the likes of Tottenham at home, W...
