Manchester United reached the Women’s FA Cup semi-finals for the first time after beating Championship side Lewes.
United took an early lead through a Rhian Cleverly own goal before Vilde Boe Risa doubled their advantage after the break.
Lewes kept pushing and Emily Kraft pulled a goal back with a fine lifted finish over United keeper Mary Earps.
But the visitors sealed their progress late on when substitute Nikita Parris prodded home a third.
