Man City Women won 1-0 away to Birmingham City to book an Adobe WFA Cup Semi-Final clash away to Chelsea.

The other half of the draw sees Liverpool hosting Brighton. The two ties will be played over the weekend of Saturday 9 May and Sunday 10 May.

Manchester City took the lead inside 10 minutes at St Andrew’s, as Iman Beney picked out a perfect through ball for Khadija Shaw to slot past goalkeeper Lucy Thomas.

Shaw nearly added a second before the break, but her effort hit the post as the hosts went in with just a single-goal deficit.

Thomas eventually caught a shot from Yui Hasegawa after she first tapped it onto the crossbar.

Hasegawa was again denied by Thomas, who tipped her effort over the top, before Rebecca Knaak headed against the bar.
