City booked our place in the quarter-finals with a deserved 3-1 win over fellow Barclays Women’s Super League side Leicester.
Leila Ouahabi opened the scoring on 18 minutes when she poked home a loose ball following some sustained City pressure, before Kerolin Nicoli got on the scoresheet for the first time in Blue.
WHEN IS THE WOMEN’S FA CUP QUARTER-FINAL DRAW?
There was a hint of fortune about the Brazilian’s strike, which took a deflection en route to the net from a tight angle, but hers and City’s lively first half performance deserved the two-goal cushion.
It was three just before the hour when substitute Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw met Aoba Fujino’s pinpoint cross from the right.
And while Leicester responded late on through Nelly Las’ effort on the counter, City were full value for a win that guarantees our spot in Tuesday’s last eight draw.
