Tottenham’s Becky Spencer saved two Manchester City penalties in 4-3 shootout win that followed a 1-1 draw in the Women’s FA Cup
Becky Spencer was the hero of Tottenham’s stunning penalty shootout win against Manchester City to send them into the FA Cup semi-finals. Spencer saved two of City’s five spot‑kicks, against the England duo Alex Greenwood and Chloe Kelly, with Spurs converting all but one to seal victory.
Taylor conceded Spurs deserved the win. “It’s a frustrating one but I have to be honest and say I didn’t really think we deserved it and I’ve never really said that about our group,” he said. “We just weren’t ourselves and didn’t do the things we usually do.” It took just six minutes for City to exorcise their frustrations at having conceded early against Chelsea, and it was the 21-year-old Fowler provided the breakthrough, sending Khadija Shaw’s layoff into the net via a heavy deflection.
The US international was still recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament issue when she signed for the Blues last summer but made an emphatic first impression when she scored on her debut in last week's, but Chelsea failed to find an opener in a cagey first half, coming closest with a crossbar-clipping header by Nathalie Björn before the centre-back was forced off and replaced by Niamh Charles in the 14th minute.

Urban Development Creating 'Heat Islands' in BrisbaneUrban development in Brisbane is creating 'heat islands' that are affecting the quality of life in the city. Areas with more concrete and bitumen, such as Bowen Hills, can experience temperatures almost five degrees higher due to the convergence of roads and tunnels. While these developments are important for city traffic, it is crucial to consider the impact on the urban environment and plan for heat management. Brisbane is expected to have higher-density development in the inner city, emphasizing the need to prevent and manage heat islands for the overall well-being of the city.
