## Resource

Chloe and Rachel whizz through a bumper FA Cup weekend, where we saw a glimpse of the Chelsea we’re used to after their impressive win against Man United. A cracking Sam Kerr goal wasn’t a bad way to commemorate her 150th appearance, either! In other FA Cup business, we react to the news that next season’s controversial format changes have been delayed. Plus, we’re joined by Oxford United goalkeeper Maddison Millington-Stanbury to chat about the club’s dream FA Cup journey, her career ambitions and how football continues to be a safe haven in light of her autism diagnosis.
