Jamaican international Khadija Shaw was on target as Manchester City clinched a historic domestic double by winning the Women's FA Cup. City dominated Brighton with a commanding 4-0 victory at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

The triumph marks the first time in the club's history that they have secured both the Women's Super League title and the FA Cup in the same season. Only two other clubs have achieved this feat in English women's football history, according to FotMob.

Shaw opened the scoring in the 38th minute, heading home an Alex Greenwood cross to give City the lead. Greenwood then doubled the advantage just before halftime with a well-placed free kick. In the second half, substitute Aoba Fujino added a third goal after her shot deflected past the Brighton goalkeeper, and Vivianne Miedema completed the emphatic win with a fourth.

Shaw's goal was her 20th in 19 FA Cup appearances. The striker recently committed her future to Manchester City, agreeing to a new four-year deal.
