Manchester United made history as they won the Women’s FA Cup for the first time with a 4-0 rout of Tottenham in the final at Wembley yesterday.

United were beaten by Chelsea in last year’s final, but they made amends with a swaggering display in the north London sunshine. Ella Toone started United’s goal spree with a fine finish late in the first half.

Rachel Williams headed home soon after the interval before a blunder by Tottenham keeper Becky Spencer presented Lucia Garcia with the killer third goal three minutes later.

Garcia netted her second late on to put the seal on United’s sublime performance as they erased the bitter taste of a disappointing season in the Women’s Super League.
