It was a day to forget for the England trio as the Cityzens crashed out of their second cup competition in the space of four days

Manchester City crashed out of the FA Cup quarter-finals on penalties on Sunday, defeated by a Tottenham team that were down and out until a mix-up between Khiara Keating and Laia Aleixandri gifted them a 96th-minute equaliser. Keating did her best to atone for the error in the shootout, but one save wasn't enough as England stars Alex Greenwood and Chloe Kelly were both denied by Spurs' own penalty hero, Becky Spencer.

There were just six minutes on the clock when Mary Fowler broke the deadlock for City, her shot finding the back of the net with the aid of a deflection after a lovely flick from Bunny Shaw. However, that didn't open the floodgates for the Cityzens, with Shaw herself guilty of a couple of missed chances before she was subbed off due to an injury concern with around 20 minutes left to play.

It looked like her team had done enough without her to reach the semi-finals, but Spurs were piling the pressure on and it was Beth England who prolonged this encounter. Not long after she had blazed a golden chance over the bar from just a few yards out, the forward found herself in the right place at the right time to benefit from miscommunication between Keating and Aleixandri, able to tap into an empty net deep into stoppage-time.

City boss Gareth Taylor introduced Kelly ahead of extra-time and she came closest to stopping the tie from going to penalties, forcing a good save out of Spencer and even hitting the bar with a free-kick, but the Lionesses winger faltered with her spot-kick, as did Greenwood, with Spurs scoring three out of four before centre-back Amy James-Turner stepped up to beat Keating with an effort that sent City crashing out of a second cup competition in just four days.

GOAL rates Man City's players from Brisbane Road…

Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence

Khiara Keating (3/10):

Needless error gifted Spurs the goal that took the game to extra-time. Saved a spot-kick in the shootout but unfortunately it wasn't enough.

Kerstin Casparij (6/10):

Got up and down the pitch really well to be an asset in both halves.

Laia Aleixandri (4/10):

Comical mix-up with Keating led to Spurs' equaliser, though she seemed to have it covered until her goalkeeper intervened.

Alex Greenwood (6/10):

Superb on the ball in the first half, one defence-splitting pass to Hemp in particular really catching the eye, but her influence waned as City struggled. Took a poor penalty.

Leila Ouahabi (5/10):

Struggled when pressed. Offered a good crossing option in the final third, but didn't showcase that enough.

Yui Hasegawa (7/10):

Offered great support whenever her team attacked, constantly on the move to get involved. Took a great penalty.

Filippa Angeldahl (5/10):

Lacked end product and good decision-making. Ran her socks off, though, and scored her spot-kick.

Jess Park (6/10):

Her first-half performance oozed confidence, with her always wanting to be on the ball and make things happen. Faded out of the game as City struggled, though.

Mary Fowler (7/10):

Might have had some fortune with the deflection but linked up well with Shaw for her goal and was generally City's liveliest player. Great penalty.

Khadija Shaw (6/10):

Lovely flick to tee up Fowler to break the deadlock. Had chances to add a goal to that assist but couldn't convert before being subbed off with an injury.

Lauren Hemp (7/10):

Provided her team with a constant outlet down the left and created some good chances. Held the ball up well when moved centrally after Shaw's withdrawal.

Getty ImagesSubs & Manager

Laura Coombs (5/10):

Came on at a time when Spurs took over so struggled to make an impact in the 90 minutes.

Esme Morgan (5/10):

Came on a few minutes after Coombs to try and help City see the game out but had some shaky moments.

Chloe Kelly (6/10):

Brought on for extra-time and was the best player in that 30 minutes, forcing a good save out of Spencer and hitting the bar. Took a surprisingly poor penalty, however.

Gareth Taylor (4/10):

Decision to start Fowler paid dividends but his subs could've come earlier and there should've been more of them when Spurs put the pressure on, too, to disrupt an opponent growing in confidence that would eventually equalise and win the tie.
