Cardiff City Ladies produced the FA Women’s Cup shock of the weekend as they defeated Northern Premier side Burnley 4-1 to fire them through to the last 16 of the tournament.
The Welsh club, who ply their trade in the fourth tier of the English system, were already the lowest-ranked side heading into Sunday’s fourth-round clash against third-tier Burnley.
Their comfortable 4-1 win ensures Cardiff City Ladies are now the only team remaining from outside the league’s top two tiers, with seven teams from the Women’s Championship and eight from the Women’s Super League still remaining. They are now set to face Championship side Lewes in the fifth round.
