Sunderland hit seven against Sheffield to book spot in last eight of Premier League Cup
Sunderland 7-2 Sheffield The FA Women’s Premier League Cup Last 16 2pm, Sunday 13 January 2013 Hetton Centre, Sunderland Women’s FC Click here for all the latest results in The FA Women's Premier League Holders Sunderland powered into the quarter-finals of The FA Women’s Premier League Cup with a convincing 7-2 win over Sheffield FC. Prolific youngster Beth Mead opened the scoring in the 12th minute but Lisa Giampalma equalised just four minutes later. Kelly McDougall re-established the Black Cats’ lead almost immediately before Mead made it 3-1 at the break. She completed her hat-trick shortly after the interval to put the hosts in a totally commanding position. An Ellie Gilliatt own goal made it 5-1 in the 68th minute and there was still time for Rachel Furness and Sophie Williams to get themselves on the scoresheet. A converted Kayleigh Mitchell free-kick in the final minute was mere consolation as Sunderland eased into the last eight. They will be joined by last year’s runners-up Leeds United, who beat Yeovil Town 1-0, and 2011 winners Barnet, who defeated Lewes 2-1.
