Matildas' Charli Grant off to Wembley in FA Cup final

No Sam Kerr has spelt no Women's FA Cup glory this year for Chelsea - but another Matilda, Charli Grant, now has the chance to live the dream in the Wembley final showpiece with Tottenham Hotspur.

Grant came on as a late substitute for Spurs as they were losing 1-0 to Leicester in Sunday's first semi-final at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but the Australian international defender helped them to battle back and earn a 2-1 win with less than three minutes left of extra-time.

Then holders Chelsea clearly missed their injured goalscoring talisman Kerr, who's scored five goals in their last three Wembley triumphs, as they suffered their first ever defeat to Manchester United 2-1 in the second semi-final away at Leigh Sports Village.
