The Title That Was a Year in the Making
The sound of “Glory Glory Manchester United” rang out through the crowd as the sun shone in the Wembley sky.
Man United have etched their name into the Women’s FA Cup history by lifting the trophy just a few years after being reformed.
How did they do it ?
The anticipated close match turned out to be anything but.
Both teams had opportunities, with Manchester United creating the majority, but the deadlock broke just moments before half-time.
Ella Toone was the shining star once again, as she treated Wembley as her playground once again.
She scored another screamer proving she’s the player for the occasion.
Rachel Williams doubled the lead following a corner, finally scoring after missing a few clear chances.
She proves to be the menace in the air, like we’ve seen all season long.
Moments later, it’s 3-0 as Lucia Garcia takes advantage of a goalkeeping error and sends the ball into an empty net.
Spurs began to look deflated as they conceded 2 goals just 3 minutes apart, both of which could have been prevented.
Garcia however was not done yet and struck again, scoring her second goal of the game and United’s fourth
The 90th minute and after…
The full-time whistle blew, and celebrations ensued.
Spurs reluctantly carried themselves up the stairs to accept their runners-up medals.
United follows them, smiling as they pass by fans and loved ones on their way up to the royal box. The trophy touches new hands for the first time as it gets raised and passed down the line of Manchester United players.
Manchester United have now secured their first major piece of silverware, marking an important milestone for the club.
This achievement is expected to help the club to attract top talent, and also help to retain some of the top-quality players whose contracts may be coming to an end.
While the team has struggled to qualify for European competitions or sustain a strong position in the title race this season, they are looking ahead to the prospects of the upcoming season.
