Man Utd beat Lewes to reach FA Cup semi-finals

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.

It had looked as if United might run away with it when Lewes defender Cleverly tucked an Alessia Russo effort past her own goalkeeper after only eight minutes.
