Bunny Shaw scores twice late as Manchester City beat Chelsea in Women's FA Cup semi-final

FULHAM, England (CMC): Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw finished with two late goals as Manchester City came from behind to beat Chelsea 3-2 and advance to the Women's FA Cup final on Sunday.

Erin Cuthbert and Sam Kerr had put Chelsea in control at Stamford Bridge, but Mary Fowler and Shaw's double turned the semi-final in City's favour.

Cuthbert opened the scoring in the eighth minute to give the home side a 1-0 lead. Kerr added a second in the 59th minute and Chelsea looked set to hold on.

With four minutes of regulation time left, Fowler cut the deficit and gave City a route back into the match.

Shaw equalised in the first minute of added time, then headed the winner in the 13th minute of extra time for the newly crowned Women's Super League champions.

Chelsea pressed late, and goalkeeper Khiara Keating had to react sharply to push Sjoeke Nusken's header onto the crossbar.

City, who lifted their first league title in 10 years on Wednesday, will now aim for a first domestic double in a decade.
