Manchester United won the Women’s FA Cup final for the first time after beating Tottenham 4-0 at Wembley Stadium.

The goals came from Ella Toone, Rachel Williams and Lucia Garcia, who scored two goals.

United coach Marc Skinner’s team had the best chances throughout the match.

But they only opened the scoring late in the first half when midfielder Toone sent a powerful shot from outside the box into the top corner.

Spurs, who were playing in their first FA Women’s Cup final, capitulated after the break and conceded two consecutive goals.

A Williams header made it 2-0 in the 54th minute, before Garcia capitalized on a poor pass from goalkeeper Becky Spencer to make the score 3-0 in the 57th minute.

Garcia scored his second goal through a 74th-minute deflection as United atoned for last year’s final defeat to Chelsea by winning their first major trophy since reforming in 2018.

Spurs captain Bethany England came closest to Tottenham with a header that hit the post, before Garcia scored twice.

It is the first time since Birmingham City’s victory in 2012 that the cup has not been won by Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City.
