Women's FA Cup round-up: Vivianne Miedema bags brace from bench as Man City breeze past Bournemouth

Vivianne Miedema came off the bench to score twice as Women's Super League leaders Manchester City routed Bournemouth 6-0 to take their place in the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup.

Goals from Khadija Shaw, Lauren Hemp and Laura Coombs' quickfire double had City 4-0 ahead at the break, with Miedema wrapping up a comprehensive victory over the National League Southern Premier Division side.

Top-flight strugglers Liverpool also hit six with Denise O'Sullivan, Mia Enderby, Martha Thomas, Gemma Bonner, Alice Bergstrom and Alejandra Bernabe on target in a 6-0 demolition of fourth-tier London Bees.

Manchester United enjoyed a 5-0 win over National League Northern Premier Division leaders Burnley with Maya Le Tissier, Julia Zigiotti, Simi Awujo, Lea Schuller and Layla Drury on the scoresheet, while second-half goals from Arsenal's Stina Blackstenius and Kim Little were enough to see off Aston Villa 2-0.

Bethany England, Drew Spence and Lenna Gunning-Williams scored as Tottenham beat Leicester 3-0 in an all-WSL clash, and Amalie Thestrup's hat-trick was the most notable contribution to Charlton's 10-0 drubbing of Swindon.

Madison Haley, from the penalty spot, and Jelena Cankovic struck late in either half to ease Brighton to a 2-0 win over WSL2 club Nottingham Forest, while Emily Syme completed a double deep into extra-time to edge Bristol City to a 2-1 win at Southampton.

Elsewhere, Birmingham won 6-2 at Hull, Charlie Devlin's double was enough to see Sheffield United past WSL2 rivals Ipswich and Oxford saw off Middlesbrough, while Chatham got the better of York 3-0 in a showdown between two fourth-tier outfits.

The Women's FA Cup fifth round draw will take place on Monday.

Fifth round ties are scheduled to take place on Sunday February 22.
