More Women’s FA Cup action continued on Sunday with plenty of clubs going head-to-head in the fourth round.
Here is what went down.
Scorers: Addison 61′; O’Brien 82′, Howard 91′, De Graaf 120+2′
Leicester came from behind to beat Tottenham after extra-time at The Hive.
The deadlock was finally broken when Angela Addison put Spurs ahead just after the hour mark.
But a late equaliser from Leicester’s Shannon O’Brien set up extra-time.
And then Leicester went in front in the extra period via Sophie Howard.
Spurs pushed for an equaliser but in stoppage time of extra-time, Esmee de Graaf sealed Leicester’s passage to the fifth round.
Scorers: Buxton 17′ (OG), Toone 82′
A sold-out crowd at Fairfax Park saw Manchester United overcome Western League Premier Division outfit Bridgwater United.
The visitors took control of the game and an own-goal from Charlotte Buxton handed them a 1-0 lead in the first half.
Ella Toone then wrapped things up for Marc Skinner’s side eight minutes from time.
Scorers: Miedema 44′
A solitary goal from Vivianne Miedema booked Arsenal’s spot in the fifth round after a tense London derby.
Despite early dominance from the hosts, which saw them register eight shots on target, the visitors managed to keep things goalless.
That was until just before the half-time whistle when Miedema made things 1-0.
Coming out after the break, Nikita Parris and Beth Mead continued to cause chaos for London City but strong defending kept them tame.
And despite tallying a staggering 16 shots, the lone strike from Arsenal’s Dutch striker was just enough to see them move on.
Scorers: Morris 91′
The giant-killing of the round belonged to Southampton who beat Bristol City after extra-time.
Despite having nine of their 11 shots on target at St. Mary’s Stadium, Bristol City couldn’t find a way past Southampton.
The match went to extra-time, where Ella Morris gave National League South side Saints the lead.
Scorers: Sarri 28′, Whipp 100′; Ramshaw 86′
Birmingham City needed extra-time to overcome a spirited Sunderland side and book their spot in the next round.
The breakthrough came via Veatriki Sarri who fired into the top corner to make things 1-0 just before the half-hour mark.
And while neither side could add to the scoring for majority of the second half, it looked as though Birmingham would move to the next round.
That was until Keira Ramshaw made things 1-1 in the dying moments, taking the tie to extra-time.
Lucy Whipp then put Birmingham back in front on 100 minutes, and it proved to be the winner.
Scorers: Koivisto 64′, Green 76′; Vanhaevermaet 34′, Rose 51′, Primmer 83′
A late goal from Tia Primmer gave Reading victory at the end of the thrilling cup tie.
Having the upper hand in both possession and shot attempts, Reading were knocking on the door and eventually broke through when Justine Vanhaevermaet made things 1-0.
Hosts Brighton, meanwhile, saw a chance from Emma Koivisto cleared off the line and couldn’t find an equaliser to level things up at the break.
Coming out afterward, Deanne Rose doubled things for the visitors but Brighton pulled themselves back into the game after goals from Koivisto and Kayleigh Green with 15 minutes to go.
Yet the comeback was short-lived as Primmer made things 3-2 in the dying moments for Reading to move on.
Scorers: Rayner 6′, Filis 4′, Walker 21′, 57′, Brynjarsdóttir 63′
WSL side West Ham stamped their authority with a comfortable victory over Championship opponents Sheffield United.
The Hammers took the lead after just four minutes through Melisa Filis but Rebecca Rayner went on to equalise two minutes later.
However, more pressure from the visitors eventually saw them recover the lead.
Claudia Walker scored on either side of the break to make things 3-1 and Dagný Brynjarsdóttir went on to add a fourth to secure a comfortable win.
Scorers: Anvegård’s 4′, Gauvin 38′, 50′, Emslie 89′
Everton got a confidence-boosting victory over Huddersfield Town at John Smith’s Stadium.
Things got off to a quick start when Anna Anvegård’s tapped home the opener just four minutes into the match.
Then as the club went on to register 12 shots with eight on target, a header from Valérie Gauvin doubled the lead just before the break.
Unfortunately for the hosts, another goal from Gauvin five minutes into the second half made things 3-0 to eliminate the possibility of a comeback.
Late in the match, Claire Emslie then added a goal of her own to cap off a big win.
