Turner targets FA Women's Cup Final at Wembley

Danielle Turner wants Everton Ladies to banish last season’s FA Women’s Cup Final from memory by reaching, and winning, at Wembley this term.

The Toffees lost 2-0 against Arsenal in last year’s Final at stadiummk and it’s something which Turner and her team-mates still find hard to think about.

And as they approach Sunday’s quarter final tie with Charlton Athletic, knowing that they’re just two wins away from The Final at Wembley, Turner wants Everton to go one better this campaign.

"Everyone that was involved last year knows the journey to get to The Cup Final," said Turner, who has scored three goals in four games for Andy Spence’s side this term.

"We suffered the heartbreak in The Final but to get there again would be amazing and the fact it’s at Wembley for the first time, it would mean absolutely everything to the girls.

"It would be an unbelievable experience and so that is a massive incentive for us."

WSL2 high-fliers Everton will go into the game as favourites and after knocking out WSL1 side Bristol Academy in extra time in the fifth round, Turner wants to approach the game in a positive manner.

"We’ll go into the game full of confidence, it’s going to be a massive game with a semi-final place up for grabs," added the England Women’s U23 midfielder.

"But by no means do we expect it to be an easy game.

"It’ll be a very tough game and Charlton will come to us with a point to prove and they’ll want to progress themselves.

"We’ve got to put on a performance to get through and I’m sure the girls will be looking to put that performance in."
