Women’s FA Cup final LIVE: Chelsea vs Manchester United result and reaction as Sam Kerr scores winning goal

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United - 23 mins

Sam Kerr hasn’t really been involved in the action so far but the Australian - who won Football Writers Player of the Year this week - shows her class with some lovely hold-up play on halfway. United defend well though and regain possession.

The electric Lauren James gets space down the right for the first time and twists inside and out Hannah Blundell. Blundell gives away a foul on the byline as she lunges in, although James was going down anyway.

United still having most of the play and closing Chelsea down when not in possession. Another promising attack sees Toone cut inside from the left and the cleverly backheel to Parris.

She opens her hips and tries to curl a shot into the far corner but it’s straight at Berger, who gratefully clutches the ball. Lovely build-up again from the underdogs though.

As underdogs, Man Utd probably need to take advantage of any spells where they’re on top. That’s been the case so far but they haven’t broken the deadlock yet.

United are having the best of this game so far and Parris is again involved with more neat build-up play before the ball is whipped into the box from the left. It’s an unconvincing punch from Berger but cannons off a United player for a goal-kick.

NO GOAL! Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United - 1 min

OH WOW! What a start to the match.

After just 20 seconds, Manchester United have the ball in the net as Ella Toone finds Leah Galton in the box and she finishes clinically. However it’s ruled out for offside. Toone was marginally offside when Alessia Russo turned the ball round the corner to her.

A let-off for Chelsea but what a dramatic start!

Only a couple of minutes until kick-off now. Here’s a reminder of the teams.

Confirmed line-ups

Chelsea XI: Berger; Perisset, Mjelde, Eriksson, Charles; Leupolz, Cuthbert, Fleming; James, Kerr, Reiten.

Both teams walk on to the Wembley pitch to a deafening roar. Playing in front of 92,000 fans will do that!

The incredible and long-overdue growth of women’s sport in the UK has been one of the most heartwarming things to see over the past few years. A sold-out Wembley for the FA Cup final today is another milestone.

Fans have been gearing up for the game in the glorious London sunshine all day.

Of course Sam Kerr starts - after scoring in five consecutive cup finals for Chelsea, including four goals in her past two appearances at Wembley - the Australian international is once again the player to watch today.
