Manchester City have booked their place in the next round of the Women's FA Cup after beating Ipswich Town 3-0 over the weekend.
Manchester City took on Ipswich Town a few days ago in the fourth round of the FA Cup. They were comfortable winners against the FAWNL Southern Premier Division side.
Jill Roord, Laura Coombs and Vivianne Miedema were all on the scoresheet for the Sky Blues, securing a 3-0 victory and a place in the fifth round of this season's FA Cup.
Even though the result was one that was expected from the Cityzens, the 3-0 win still comes as a good start to their 2025 and will hopefully boost their confidence when they go into more vital matches.
On Monday, the draw for the fifth round of the FA Cup was made, and Manchester City's opponents were announced.
