Saturday saw the first bracket of Womenâs FA Cup quarter-final ties completed.
Hereâs what went down âŚ
Scorers: Turner 8â˛, Parris 17â˛, GarcĂa 45â˛, Naalsund 59â˛
Manchester United reached back-to-back Womenâs FA Cup semi-finals after dismantling Brighton.
The visitors took an early lead at the Broadfield Stadium through Millie Turner meeting Katie Zelemâs recycled corner at the far post.
Nikita Parris doubled the Red Devilsâ advantage barely 10 minutes later by combining with Turner before firing a tidy finish past Sophie Baggaley.
Things went from bad to worse for the Seagulls as LucĂa GarcĂa added a third before half-time after Melvine Malardâs shot came back off the woodwork.
Lisa Naalsund compounded the misery in the second half with a stunning effort from the edge of the penalty area to see Marc Skinnerâs side coast into the last four.
Scorers: Rantala 15â˛, 63â˛
Leicester City reached the Womenâs FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in their history after stunning Liverpool.
Jutta Rantala broke the deadlock at Prenton Park by driving home the rebound after Janice Caymanâs effort came back off the post.
The hostsâ best opening of the first half saw Marie HĂśbinger strike the woodwork from a botched clearance by Lize Kop.
But Rantala extended the Foxesâ advantage midway through the second half with a powerful strike which hit the crossbar on its way in.
