Carli Lloyd nets in Manchester City Women's victory in FA Cup final

Carli Lloyd delivered again on the big stage as Manchester City Women swept aside Birmingham City Ladies 4-1 in the Women's FA Cup final.

Almost five years on from netting a double in the London 2012 Olympic final at Wembley, where the United States were 2-1 winners over Japan, Lloyd was back at the stadium on Manchester City duty.

And the reigning FIFA world player of the year headed home the third goal in a rout of Birmingham, who were 3-0 behind at half-time and by then chasing a lost cause.

Manchester City Women are the reigning Women's Super League champions, the WSL Continental Tyres Cup holders, and now for the first time they are FA Cup winners.
