Thank you for following along with me for this thrilling FA Cup semi-final which has seen Manchester United through to their first major trophy final. It was Rachel Williams who scored the winner after a goal-frenzy in the second half after Brighton led 1-0 at half-time. Chelsea and Aston Villa will battle it out for a place beside United tomorrow. If you want to catch up with the action have a read of Will Unwin’s report below. Have a good evening!

Brighton manager Melissa Phillips also spoke to the BBC, saying: “We came here to make a good account of ourselves. This is day one effectively. The performances have always been there, it was the fight, the attitude. They were brilliant. It was just needing a bit of identity and belief. The girls executed it brilliantly.”
