The win puts City in the hat for the semi-final draw which takes place later on Sunday evening. Chelsea kept their quadruple hopes alive with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. The hosts saw goals in either half disallowed with Aggie Beever-Jones and Catarina Macario denied for the latter being flagged offside in the build-up to both efforts.

"Feed the Bun and she will score," sing the home fans as Khadija Shaw again drives at Villa's defence. She has burst into life in this second half. City look sharper.

Second-half strikes from Khadija Shaw and Jess Park sent Manchester City through to the Adobe Women's FA Cup semi-final after a 2-0 win over Aston Villa. Shaw put City out in front not long after the restart when she met Mary Fowler's weighted pass before coolly slotting the ball under Villa shot-stopper Sabrina D'Angelo and into the net.
