    Well, that is just about it from us today.

    Don't forget to frequent the BBC Sport website and tune in to BBC 5 live Sports Extra and BBC local radio to follow our women's football coverage.

    Today was all about the Women's FA Cup, but there is the very big matter of Chelsea now going on a serious hunt for a domestic treble with the Women's Super League One title race wide open and the Continental Cup still in its early stages.

    Notts County go away beaten finalists on a milestone day in the nation's capital, but they will quickly turn attentions to league action as Bristol Academy visit Meadow Lane on Wednesday.

    Chelsea Ladies forward Gemma Davison told BBC One:

    "We just made history so we are absolutely buzzing. Holding this for the first time in a Chelsea shirt, I'm really proud to be part of it.

    "This is the first cup they have won and that is me included in it.

    "I'm happy for all the girls that are here and who have been part of disappointment, especially last year (when they failed to win the league on the final day)."

    Chelsea manager Emma Hayes told BBC One:

    "We work hard as coaches for days like today. I could not ask to be part of a better organisation or to have a better staff, they have worked their socks off for three and a half years.

    "We have a group of players that not only commit to everything we do, but tell you what they were never going to be on the losing team today. I knew that from the opening whistle. I'm incredibly proud of them.

    "I actually enjoyed every minute of it."

    Chelsea striker Eniola Aluko tells BBC One:

    "The overwhelming emotion right now is just relief. It has been a long time coming.

    "After coming so close last season (to the WSL 1 title) everyone has talked about it, will Chelsea do it? How will we play under pressure? But we certainly played under pressure.

    "We were disciplined and got the win. This is history in the making I couldn't be more proud of this group of players."

    Ji So-Yun, known as Chelsea's 'little magician' writes her place in English football history for the 37th minute winner.

    It was a bit of a messy finish from a classy player. But they all count. And this one certainly does.
