The Women’s FA Cup intensifies with just 16 teams left in the hat as the ties for the fifth round are drawn.

Defending champions Chelsea, who are bidding to sign off the Emma Hayes era in style with a fourth consecutive crown, survived a major scare in the fourth round, requiring extra time to progress past fellow WSL side West Ham.

There were no such frights for WSL title chasers Manchester City and Arsenal, each recording comfortable four-goal margins of victory.

Third-tier side Nottingham Forest also impressed, thrashing Plymouth 6-1.
