Aston Villa booked their place in the Women's FA Cup quarter-finals with a 3-2 win over Brighton & Hove Albion yesterday afternoon.

Nikita Parris put the away side ahead on the stroke of half-time but a back post finish from Anna Patten deep into stoppage time levelled the scoring at the break.

A quick start to the second-half saw goals from Rachel Daly and Chasity Grant put the Villans 3-1 up and in control of the contest.

Parris struck again to reduce the deficit late on, but the Villans remained strong to see out the 3-2 victory.
