There were plenty of goals but not many shocks after the Women's FA Cup fourth round wrapped up on Sunday.
There were two all-WSL clashes with in-form Tottenham Hotspur enjoying a 3-0 win at home to Leicester City with Beth England, Drew Spence, and Lenna Gunning-Williams all on target. Later on Arsenal knocked out Aston Villa on home turn with goals from Stina Blackstenius and Kim Little.
Top flight sides also enjoyed big wins over lower-level opposition. Manchester City put six past Bournemouth with Laura Coombs and Vivianne Miedema both bagging braces.
New Liverpool signings Denise O'Sullivan, Martha Thomas, and Alice Bergström (who scored twice) all netted in a 6-0 victory over London Bees. Meanwhile, Manchester United completed a 5-0 victory over Burnley with Lea Schüller getting her first goal for the club and a dream debut for 16-year-old Layla Drury as she scored United's fifth.
However the biggest win of the afternoon was by second-tier Charlton Athletic who put ten past sorry Swindon Town with Amalie Thestrup netting a hat-trick.
The fifth round draw will take place on Monday with 16 teams remaining in the competition.
