The victory means Sonia Bompastor’s side have added the FA Cup to their wins in the Super League and the League Cup.

The Blues have had an invincible season, going unbeaten across all three competitions.

It completes a memorable first season for the French manager, who took over from Emma Hayes when she went to manage the US national side.

Ten minutes of added time meant a miracle comeback was also a distant possibility – but that hope was quickly snuffed out when Baltimore got her third.
