Report: Palace Women secure Brighton clash with triumph over Southampton

On Sunday evening, Crystal Palace Women secured themselves a clash with Brighton & Hove Albion in the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup by defeating Southampton Women 0-4.

Last week, the FA Cup tie between Palace and Southampton was called off as the Eagles led 3-0. Competing in the rearranged fixture a week later - and with an all-weather pitch ensuring there would be no such postponement again - Dean Davenport's south Londoners picked up where they left off, scoring after half an hour through Amber Stobbs.

Stobbs' goal came after a defensive mishap for Southampton and following a solid period of Palace pressure in which the Eagles forced goalkeeper Rose Kite into several smart blocks.
