Thank you so much for joining me for this historic Women’s FA Cup final. United’s first major final, a sold-out Wembley for the first time, Chelsea become only the second women’s club to win the trophy three times in a row and VAR was in operation for the first time. VAR played a huge part in the game, ruling out Galton’s goal in the first minute. Chelsea held on after a monumental United performance and Harder proved the difference for the Blues. Her pass to Kerr saw her score the winner, and celebrate with her famous backflip. If you want to recap the action have a read of Suzy Wrack’s report below. We will be back bringing you the action in the WSL on Wednesday with Everton v Arsenal and West Ham v Chelsea. But for now, enjoy the rest of your Sunday whatever you’re doing.
Chelsea’s Erin Cuthbert told the BBC: “Delighted, tough game. Man u were really good and made it difficult for us. They had a fast start but we sorted things out at half-time. I want to play in the biggest games, I want to play in a tight game and test ourselves against the best. We want everyone to make everyone else better. I was watching England Euros and I thought ‘I’ll never be able to play at a sold-out Wembley’. It’s amazing to see how fast women’s football has progressed.”
Alex Scott has just made a good point, it’s not just Chelsea who need to retain their stars but United also need to re-sign theirs. Russo and Batlle are rumoured to be leaving, Champions League qualification the reported stipulation.
Emma Hayes also said she doesn’t manage to keep all her Chelsea players happy all the time due to her squad rotation. But whoever they have in the team they manage to win, last season Chelsea had Ji, England and Spence. This year they’ve introduced the likes of Perisset and Buchanan. But they still manage to win.
Chelsea manager Emma Hayes told the BBC: “We have played here more times than we have Stamford Bridge so yes it is a home but it was a slog. I thought we looked knackered in the first half, we had to kick each other at half time. We know how to stay in the game, even though we weren’t at our best [we won]. It is a coaches nightmare, we don’t do the kick-off properly, they deserved a goal for us being sloppy. They deserve credit the players, Manchester United what a team they are. Sam is priceless but I have to credit Pernille Harder.”
Manchester United manager Marc Skinner told the BBC: “We switch off in one moment. There was space for Sam [Kerr], when we kept her quiet they didn’t do anything. They might be winning it now but they won’t be there in the future. They are their best when they don’t have the ball, they move quickly we could have done better on that. The girls have kept Sam quiet, Chelsea didn’t do much in the game. I have to say I want to thank all the fans but we wont dwell on things.”
The blue flags fly, the cheer vertebrate around Wembley, the medals are put around necks. I think they ran out of medals so Bright and Eriksson don’t actually have one right now. The last thing to do is for Eriksson to raise the trophy. Bright has the top off so it doesn’t fall off. Eriksson lifts it and jumps, Bright can’t join in with the jumping due to her injury. Winning definitely doesn’t get boring, the Chelsea players’ faces confirm that!
Hayes leads the team, fans congratulating them as they go. Eriksson the captain who will raise the trophy, another player who could be leaving this summer.
Now it’s Chelsea’s turn to walk up to the royal box and receive the Women’s FA Cup trophy again. They join Arsenal as they only two clubs to win it three times in a row.
Joe has got in touch and said: “Let’s hope Millie is careful with the trophy. She’s got priors.” She certainly does with the FA Cup too!

Manchester United are walking up the stairs now to collect their runner-up medals. For a team who were in existence before 2018 to have that medal is something quite special. It was their first time at Wembley today but it certainly won’t be the last.
Here’s the winning goal, I believe it is Kerr’s 10th goal in eight cup finals with Chelsea:

Harder was not drawn on any chat of contracts, she was asked what Chelsea meant to her given her contract was up and she only spoke on her feelings towards Chelsea. Barcelona and Lyon clubs interested in her this summer.
Player of the Match and Chelsea’s Sam Kerr told the BBC: “We didn’t have our best game today but it’s a sign of a good team to still get the win. The team did amazing, I would be lying if I said it was all me. I’m just lucky to be the nine in this team.”
And Pernille Harder added: “It is amazing to win titles. A full Wembley is amazing. It is sad when you are out for so long and when you come back you have so much every and motivation. Chelsea means a lot to me, I have so many good memories here.”
Heartbreak is etched on United’s players and coaches. But they have to look at their journey, they have been a team for five years and they pushed Chelsea to the edge in this final. There is no longer a ‘top three’ in England women’s football, it’s a top four.
Millie Bright is in full kit and I’m loving it! She is injured and hasn’t played since the Champions League quarter but she is in full Chelsea kit and embracing her best mate Sam Kerr.
Blue is the colour is ringing around Wembley, at times today I thought it was going to be red flags being raised at full-time. The difference for Chelsea was Harder, no doubt. As soon as she came on at 60 minutes Chelsea’s chances increased. It was her expert pass to Kerr that provided the win. Wow. But a massive shift from United – no one can take that first half away from them.
Full-time! Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United
Chelsea have done it! They have won the Women’s FA Cup for the third successive time.
Updated
90 + 6 min: Zelem pops it in but Reiten clears it. United have a throw but the clock is ticking! Oh my word!!! Berger lost control of the ball and Le Tissier almost had it in the box. My word! So so close to equalising at the death.
90 + 6 min: Cuthbert blocks a chance from Zelem, United are throwing everything at this now. They are running it through the team, could this be it? It’s not a goal but United have a corner! Earps is in the box.
90 + 5 min: The time is back so this is now accurate! Just to reassure you that I’m not blindly guessing how much time is left. Chelsea now running this final expertly, running down the clock to lift the trophy. United have a minute.
90 + 4 min: Untied trying to create a chance but they accidentally put it out of play. It’s only now that United will feel the wasted chances from the first half, when they were all over Chelsea. But here they come again, Garcia keeps the ball alive and Zelem pops it into the box – Williams gets a head to it but it is wide.
Updated
90 + 3 min: United are making another change with Ladd off for Thomas. The clock and score has disappeared from BBC’s coverage so I’m doing my best to make sure these timings are correct!
90 + 1 min: There will be six minutes added, plenty of time to find an equaliser!
90 min: Harder rockets the ball upfield but there was no one there. Player of the Match has been given to Sam Kerr. Who else? She has to be the best striker in the world, always comes good when Chelsea need her.
88 min: Chelsea fuming as a free kick goes to United and Ingle gets a yellow card. Before it is taken Buchanan is on for James, she gets met with boos by United fans – she left the Reds to join Chelsea in 2021. Zelem takes the kick but it is headed away.
87 min: Perisset looks okay to continue as a ball comes over the top for United but it goes out for a goal kick. With all these stops I’d say there will be about five minutes or so added so they have about ten to find an equaliser.
85 min: Batlle does so well to keep the ball in play, they get it into the box from a lightning cross from Batlle but Russo scuffs the chance and then Perisset closes down Williams. Perisset is down with an injury, Williams accidentally stood on her foot. Teams are rallying round their managers now.
84 min: United may not have the energy they had to box Chelsea out but they have brought on some skilled forwards and all they need is one opportunity. At the moment they are stuck in their own half, Earps looked like she was chatting to her backline for ages!
83 min: Galton is still on the pitch so I called the sub wrong earlier, sorry about that!
81 min: Cuthbert popped a rogue ball upfield and Harder’s resulting cross is out for a goal kick. Chelsea playing with freedom now, United need to get their shape back they had in the first half. Kerr gets the ball in a perfect position for Ingle who skies it, she could have put the tie to bed there! Huge miss.
80 min: Garcia is on for Galton and Toone is off for Mannion. Taking Toone off is an interesting call, especially if this heads to extra time and pens. Toone looked annoyed coming off the pitch.
79 min: James does well to get the ball in the box but it doesn’t find any teammate. The fizz from United seems to have dimmed now, they need to get that pace and punch back into this tie. They are very much still in it if they get their mentality back to what it was. Harder had a good opportunity but her cross has too much on it.
77 min: Zelem takes it but it has too much on it and Berger collects easily. Skinner’s tactical changes are coming under fire, I did say how good Parris was before she was hooked off. A strange call that so far has not paid off.
76 min: Here comes super sub Williams and Cuthbert has to force her on the floor to stop her! The Chelsea player tells the ref her studs got stuck in the turf, questionable! United have a free kick!
74 min: Rachel Brown-Finnis has made a good point on the commentary, she pointed out since the tactical change of moving Toone to the wing after Parris came off United have been less threatening in attack. Ingle puts in a long range pass but it has too much on it to find Kerr. 77,390 fans at Wembley stadium, last year there was almost 41,000. The growth is incredible.
72 min: There is more pep in Chelsea’s step here after the goal, more energy throughout the team but United haven’t gone away. Chelsea make another change with Charles off for Carter.
71 min: For the goal Kerr also brought out her backflip, she knew what that meant after a lacklustre performance from Chelsea so far. Harder has been the difference, how Chelsea will miss her if the rumours are true that she is leaving in the summer.
Updated
70 min: I think Wembley were all reading my blog as I said a goal would spice things up. It will be interesting to see how United react, they have been strong. They need to remain composed, stay playing the same and be clinical in front of goal. This isn’t over yet.
68 min: It was a peach of a ball from Reiten to find Harder, she finds Kerr in the box and she slots it around Earps. Chelsea the weaker team in this but they are ahead. Kerr the scorer but Harder the difference.
GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United (Kerr, 68')
SAM KERR!
Updated
67 min: Ingle is up and okay to continue
67 min: How has Harder not scored there? How? She gets in a great position and in a one-on-one with Earps loses out – great work from the keeper. She would have been ruled offside anyway but that should be in the back of the net. Ingle is now down injured.
66 min: Chelsea win a free kick as Cuthbert is fouled by Williams. Reiten takes the free kick, Kerr heads it but Ladd clears. I’m getting frustrated by the wasted chances so I can’t imagine how the Wembley crowd are feeling! A great game but it would get a bit more spicy if someone scored soon.
64 min: I honestly still can’t call this match, United remain the better team but with Harder on for Chelsea I could also see them winning it. It wouldn’t surprise me if we went to pens. United ran back to Earps, whose resulting kick goes to Berger.
Updated
62 min: Harder is down after a clash with Turner, they are playing on and the crowd is booing. Game play has now stopped and United take the chance to make a change with Williams on for Parris. Not good for Chelsea supporters, Williams is the super sub. Harder is okay to continue.
60 min: Kerr gets a great ball to Harder but Le Tissie does just enough to put her off, the shot is saved easily. Parris has also put her hand up for England selection in this match, she missed out on the last England call-up but she has been instrumental for United today.
58 min: Zelem takes the corner and Turner heads it but it is wide. That’s the second header from her to go wide, she is threatening. Chelsea make some changes with Harder on for Fleming and Leupolz on for Ingle.
56 min: Turner does well to close down a chance by James. Chelsea take a free kick quickly but the chance is going nowhere, they are pushed back to halfway. Then Batlle does well to win it back, they get it up into the box and Perisset heads it away for a corner. Batlle was fouled by Charles in the build-up and she has a yellow card.
55 min: Reiten has a yellow card for an earlier challenge on Zelem. United get the ball to Galton again but her shot is easily saved by Berger. Injection of pace from both teams in the last few minutes.
54 min: These offside calls are coming way too late, Toone was clearly offside but she didn’t put up her flag and so United play on and a minute later the whistle goes. Frustrating.
52 min: That was such a wasted chance from United. Galton got herself in a great position in the box but didn’t pass quickly, it comes back to Ladd but her shot is easily saved. Chelsea get it up the other end and Reiten crosses in again but there are no blue shirts in the box.
51 min: Eriksson sends a long ball in and Reiten crosses it, initially there isn’t anyone there but Kerr eventually gets a head to it but United block. United then counter and Russo rockets a long range shot which Berger deals with well.
49 min: When Chelsea get the ball in a game usually, a lot of people feel the danger and a sense they will score. This game it’s more expectant for them to pass a loose ball, their form needs to be found quickly. Also Sarina Wiegman is in the house!
47 min: It’s been a slow start to the second half, especially compared to how the first began! Chelsea finding their feet, a lot of talk with the pundits on how Chelsea will come out and bite United but the Reds are capable of continuing their domination.

Back underway! Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United
There has never been a Women’s FA Cup final that has ended 0-0, will this be the first one? We will find out soon!

If you are confused as to why Parris wasn’t given a penalty, the officials ruled it a free kick as the contact from Charles started outside of the box.

Half-time: Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United
Nothing separates them on the scoreboard but United are in control of this match. One goal ruled out for United, will they make history in the second 45?
45 + 2 min: Zelem pops it in and Turner gets a head to it but it goes over.
45 + 2 min: Parris wins a free kick but she thinks she should have a penalty! To be honest I wouldn’t be shocked if it were given so I can see why she is annoyed there. VAR has looked at it and it remains a free kick.
45 + 2 min: Chelsea had a chance to shoot but they almost trip over their own feet and can’t unleash it. Fleming gets the ball in again but it doesn’t make contact with Kerr’s head.
45 min: There will be three minutes added.
44 min: Kerr is up for this as she runs after the ball with Earps in possession but she unlocks United’s attack and they can easily thread it through the team. That is the difference between the two so far, United’s speed on the ball. Their latest attack ends in an offside call though. Simon has got involved in the snack chat and is coming for my skittles: “I’m afraid I can’t agree with you about the skittles. They can’t hold a candle to a mint matchmaker, or even a Love Heart. But savoury is where it’s at anyway in the snack department. Give me some peanuts or pretzels anyday.”
42 min: Save from Earps! What a save! Chelsea work it up into the box and James gets a head to the ball, Turner’s head deflects it in another direction though and Earps has to run across goal and she scoops it away from goal.
Updated
39 min: Chelsea feel like a jack in the box at the moment, their supporters are winding the handle around but they haven’t popped out of the box yet. Chelsea have a free kick which Berger is taking as it’s s0 high up the pitch. Possession exchanges hands as a result but Chelsea get into the box with amazing defence from Batlle to silence Reiten.
37 min: The Blundell and James battle is getting a bit tasty, the players having a few words for each other after tackles. Charles does well under pressure to clear the ball but United are on the attack quickly. Russo crosses into the box and Galton has a shot but it’s an awkward angle and it’s over the top.
35 min: Berger is back to her feet and she is okay to continue. Tor has got in touch from Wembley and said: “Just wanted to call attention to how well United are managing Lauren James on Chelsea’s right wing. Anytime she gets even a sniff of a ball Blundell and Galton are alert and smothering her, Blundell to dispossess with Galton there to intercept. Chelsea will need to find another route through if they want to make an impact. United (my team, naturally) are looking more and more likely to score - it seems like just a matter of time". You’re right about James, apart from where she drew the free kick she has been handled really well. I can still see the game going either way!
34 min: Berger is now down with injury, I don’t see how she has injured and so this could be one of the tactical ones where Hayes can speak to her team. She is speaking to her team, as is Skinner.
33 min: Zelem is fouled and United have a free kick, midway in Chelsea’s half so a good opportunity. Zelem takes it and it’s a great kick into the area. It’s scrambled with players hitting the deck but Turner gets a shot away, it takes a great save from Berger to keep it out! Great save from the keeper.
31 min: Multiple throw ins from both sides ends with a Chelsea one going to United. Parris forms an attack and United are patient in their build-up. Parris pops it into the box but it doesn’t reach Toone, Chelsea can’t clear cleanly and United still have possession. A ball comes in for Parris but it has too much on it and it’s out for a goal kick.
29 min: Russo’s pass is cut out by James, both have each other’s number at the moment. Every attack is still tinged with nerves for the supporters but the players seems quite composed as things stand. James crosses in a good position but it’s straight out, poor from the Chelsea player there.
27 min: Another long ball comes in for Kerr but it has too much on it and Earps collects. Chelsea obviously see it’s easier to unleash an attack by bypassing a long build-up and going for a long pass.
Updated
25 min: Joe has got in touch with some snack chat and he said: “I’m enjoying the match with some dried pineapple and a cup of coffee on this somewhat gloomy midwest morning.” It’s lovely and sunny here, hopefully it comes out for you later in the day! Back to the sunny Wembley and a shot came from United but Berger easily collected. Chelsea have settled into this one but there are moments where United are allowed to run riot.
24 min: Eriksson does well to cut out a Parris run but it is not long until United have it back once more. Batlle making a storming run and she crosses it in but Mjelde blocks well to dispel the danger. Chelsea wanted to counter with a long ball trying to release James but Blundell gets there ahead of her to halt any threat.
22 min: Le Tissier puts in a long ball but Parris is offside. The game has broken up a bit now, a lot more stop and start. United need it to be more free flowing to unlock Chelsea.
20 min: Perisset sends it in, Mjelde has a head to it but it’s way off target. A wasted opportunity there, their first real chance of a goal. Eriksson with a beautiful long ball but Batlle does well to deal with it.
18 min: James’ footwork is unbelievable, she was sending Blundell left and right like it was nothing! She then fouls her and Chelsea have a free kick on the edge of the box.
17 min: Chelsea are a shadow of themselves at the moment, United completely dominating them so far. There’s been no clear cut chance for the holders, Earps not had to deal with a lot.
Updated
15 min: Possession is exchanging hands so quickly at the moment! United attack and Chelsea do well to close down Toone in the box, if she had a shot there I think she would have scored. She can’t get a shot away, lays it off to Parris and her shot goes directly to Berger.
14 min: The pace in the opening five minutes has slowed and United will want that injected back in. The ball comes into the box and Berger smothers it, she launches a Chelsea attack and ti ends in Reiten winning a throw in. United win it back easily though.
12 min: Earps’ distribution has been excellent so far, also not feeling any pressure from the Chelsea players hunting her down. James does really well to not touch the ball and prevent a United player taking it as she thought her teammate could collect with no flag up but eventually it is raised.
10 min: Both teams have used the break to chat with their managers, Leupolz is back to her feet and she is okay to continue.
Updated
9 min: United players are being allowed so much space, Chelsea slightly napping with Toone and Ladd having acres to play in. Leupolz is currently down with injury and so there is a break in play, Chelsea’s squad has had to deal with a lot of injuries this season.
7 min: Toone with a beautiful pass to Galton, stunning backheel flick. They run it through the team and Parris has it on the edge of the box. Zelem crosses in but Berger punches away, the ball hits a United player and its a goal kick. The defence from Chelsea seems rocked from that early chance from Galton.
6 min: Eriksson threads a long ball to Kerr but she was offside. United definitely with the better start in this one, it may be their first major final but they are composed. Fleming makes an error with Ladd pressuring her, the Reds are on fire.
4 min: The United fans’ heartrate must be through the roof! If VAR was not in operation for the first time in this fixture that goal could have stood. Chelsea have taken the speed out of the game, they are running the ball between their defenders, getting settled.
2 min: I was so convinced it was a goal I was changing the scoreline on the blog! Wow, Chelsea shell shocked. Can they keep their heads or will United keep up this impressive start?
2 min: Well, well, well, goal check already! Galton think she has scored but she could be offside. And it is. Remember, VAR is in operation for the first time.
Updated
1 min: Strange, the kick-off went ahead but then we were pulled back for another kick-off. We are underway now though.
Kick-off! Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United
Here we go, will Chelsea become only the second club to win the trophy three times in a row? Or can United make history and win their first major trophy? Whatever happens this is going to be a tasty match!
Prince William has met the players and managers, the anthem has been played and so what’s left? Ah yes, the tense and thrilling 90 minutes we have ahead. This could also go to extra-time and penalties if they are all square at full-time.
Do you want to re-live every goal both of these teams have scored in the Women’s FA Cup so far this season? Well you are in luck as the competition has put a compilation together!

Have you been reading our weekly women’s football newsletter, Moving the Goalposts? It’s free to subscribe to and brings you news and exclusive interviews. This week Firdose Moonda spoke to Janine van Wyk, you can have a read of the piece here:
Can Chelsea’s experience win them their third straight Women’s FA Cup trophy this afternoon? Suzy Wrack has written about it, give it a read:
Chelsea’s Sam Kerr says Wembley is her favourite stadium to play in – because she has never lost there. “Every time I go there it’s for a trophy,” she said per Goal. “I never have to visit otherwise. I think that’s exactly it. It’s a big-game stadium. You don’t go there to play any other game other than for a trophy. I’ve never been there and not won a trophy. Fingers crossed this weekend is the same.”
Chelsea manager Emma Hayes has said: “Previous success is not indicative of future success. We’re playing an outstanding team who have led the way in the league this year. They’re deserving to be in the cup final. Being there in the past gives you the luxury of understanding what it’s like but it’s no advantage whatsoever. This year our team has been written off quite easily but we’re always favourites in our eyes.”
Brom has got in touch to get in on the snack chat and said: “I raise your Skittles a packet of dry roasted broad beans and a Stonewall beer. Cheers from the Netherlands and come on United!” I cannot say I have ever heard of anyone snacking on dry roasted broad beans, I want to try them now!
Last season just below 41,000 supporters attended Wembley to watch Chelsea lift the trophy and now 90,000 will be attending. Here’s a piece on how the crowd more than doubled in the space of a season:
Speaking of Casey Stoney, the former United manager has tweeted support for her former club:
I will watch with immense pride on Sunday as @ManUtdWomen take the stage for their first ever @VitalityWFACup final. I hope it’s an amazing occasion for everyone involved especially the players. What a journey!! pic.twitter.com/EJcvQ7w14P

Marc Skinner took over at Manchester United from Casey Stoney in 2021 and he has continued the club’s progress, all the way to Wembley. But do you know him? Have a read of the piece below to get to know the boss better:
United may never have beaten Chelsea but manager Marc Skinner has belief his side will lift the trophy this afternoon: “We know we can beat Chelsea, but we know how difficult that is,” he said. “There’s no doubt in my mind that if you want to pick a favourite, then Chelsea should be put on that mantle because of the fact they have been here before and done this before. But the reality is we have a team of rebels that want to make sure that won’t be the fact.”
I do love a bit of snack chat on my blogs, today I have some skittles. A classic and, in my opinion, under-rated sweet. What have you got to nervously nibble on throughout the final? Let me know via Twitter or email.
A fun fact for you: As VAR is not in operation in the WSL or Conti Cup, today will be the first time Manchester United play with the technology in use.
The team news is here! Chelsea have made three changes from the side that thrashed Leicester City. Fleming, Mjelde and Kerr come back into the side. Kirby and Bright remain out with long-term injuries.
Chelsea: Berger, Leupolz, James, Reiten, Perisset, Eriksson, Fleming, Mjelde, Kerr, Charles, Cuthbert

📋 Presenting your United #WomensFACup final line-up — let's go, girls! 👊#MUWomen
Preamble
History will be made today even before the players walk out onto the pitch for the Women’s FA Cup final. Defending champions Chelsea take on Manchester United in front of a sell-out Wembley, the first time the competition has sold-out the home of English football.
It is also the first time United have made the final and there’s more history with VAR in operation for the first time in the women’s competition. More history could be made once the whistle is blown as if United get the win it will be the first time they have defeated Chelsea.
The teams have played each other nine times with Chelsea winning eight and the other a draw. United are in amazing form, still reigning supreme in the Women’s Super League table, but Chelsea have scored 13 goals in their last two games. It will be a tense battle and it should be a delight of a match.
The team news for both clubs will be dropping shortly so stay tuned for all the updates ahead of kick-off at 2.30pm BST.
