Holders Manchester City needed extra time to beat Birmingham City and progress to the quarter-finals of the Women’s FA Cup but eventually won 3-1 in Solihull.

Nadia Nadim scored after 13 minutes for Manchester City but Ellen White equalised on 37 minutes. Georgia Stanway put the visitors back in front, seven minutes into extra time, before Claire Emslie made sure of the result in the 119th minute.

Chelsea’s passage was rather easier, with a 6-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers Belles 6-0 at Kingsmeadow. Emma Hayes’ side dominated the opening period and wasted several good opportunities but Ji So-yun clipped home on 13 minutes at the second attempt after being denied by the impressive Bethan Davies in the Belles goal.

Fran Kirby slotted home early in the second period to double Chelsea’s lead before Drew Spence found the top corner moments later after being beautifully found by Ji.
