Khadija Shaw scored twice as Manchester City came from behind in incredible fashion to beat Chelsea and reach the Women’s FA Cup final.<\/p>\n

The Jamaican international has dominated headlines this week as an exit from City appears to be nearing and Chelsea have emerged as favourites<\/a> to sign her on a free deal in the summer.<\/p>\n

With all eyes on Shaw and a swirling narrative building, it was fitting that she produced the game’s biggest moments to carry her side to victory.<\/p>\n

With four minutes of normal time remaining, Manchester City were trailing 2-0 before Mary Fowler got one back and Shaw netted a stoppage-time equaliser.<\/p>\n

But that was not the ending to Shaw’s story as she stepped up again in the 13th minute of extra time to nod in the winning goal for the newly-crowned Women’s Super League champions.<\/p>\n

It was a remarkable finale to a pulsating showdown that had seen Chelsea dominate for 80 minutes and until that point deserving the victory. <\/p>\n

But despite goals from dependable Chelsea stars Sam Kerr and Erin Cuthbert, they did not have enough to hold on against England’s best team this season.<\/p>\n

They did put up a fight in extra-time, however, with minutes to go, goalkeeper Khiara Keating tipped Chelsea midfielder Sjoeke Nusken’s header onto the crossbar, as gasps rippled throughout Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

But City clung on to cap off the perfect week for Andree Jeglertz’s side, who celebrated a first league title in a decade on Wednesday and will chase a first domestic double in 10 years.<\/p>\n

They face Brighton in the final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, 31 May after the Seagulls beat Liverpool 3-2<\/a> earlier on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Khadija Shaw scored twice as Manchester City came from behind in incredible fashion to beat Chelsea and reach…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":576808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-576807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=576807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/576808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
