Birmingham were denied by the woodwork five times as Jade Pennock and Ashley Hodson both went close.

The Championship outfit, who were the last remaining team in the competition from outside the WSL after Manchester United knocked out Lewes FC earlier on Sunday, had the better of Brighton for much of the game but were punished for two mistakes. Birmingham were denied by the woodwork five times as Jade Pennock and Ashley Hodson both went close.

Brighton scored twice in four minutes to secure victory over Birmingham City at St Andrew’s and progress to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Poppy Pattinson put the Women’s Super League side ahead in the 28th minute directly from a floated corner.

Danielle Carter doubled the visitors’ lead with a composed penalty after Brianna Visalli was clipped in the box.
