Republic of Ireland centre-half Caitlin Hayes scored a super header as Brighton and Hove Albion pulled off a shock by dumping European champions Arsenal out of the Women’s FA Cup on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Seagulls got their game plan spot on to claim a 2-0 win in the quarter-final clash at Meadow Park.<\/p>\n
Moments after Gunners forward Stina Blackstenius had a goal disallowed for a foul in the build-up, Madison Haley latched on to Fran Kirby’s pass and fired past Daphne van Domselaar in the 48th minute.<\/p>\n
Kirby was again the provider in the 63rd minute as her corner was met by Hayes, who brilliantly headed over Van Domselaar and in to settle this quarter-final contest in favour of the underdogs.<\/p>\n
Ireland captain Katie McCabe came on as a 76th-minute sub for the Gunners but she could not inspire a late turnaround.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Republic of Ireland centre-half Caitlin Hayes scored a super header as Brighton and Hove Albion pulled off a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-383397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
