Women's FA Cup Roundup: Holders Chelsea Through as Manchester United Upset WSL Side Brighton

In a weekend of relatively few shocks in the fourth round of the Women's FA Cup, second division Manchester United produced the only real cup-set as they overcame Women's Super League side Brighton.

17-year-old Lauren James netted twice for the Red Devils as the Championship promotion chasers shocked former England boss Hope Powell's Brighton side 2-0.

Holders Chelsea struggled in their efforts to break down a resilient Everton, but two second-half goals from Drew Spence and Hannah Blundell ensured the Blues remain on course for a cup defence.

14-time winners Arsenal sailed through into the fifth round of the draw after they swept aside fourth-tier Crawley 4-0 away from home thanks to a stunning performance from 16-year-old Ruby Grant.
