First, there was Roselle Ayane's 96th-minute winner to complete a late comeback against Sheffield Utd, then came Becky Spencer's heroics in the penalty shootout against Man City, before Martha Thomas put on another late show in the 118th-minute against Leicester. If this feels like any club's year, it's Spurs.
Man Utd's route through the Women's FA Cup has been far more serene, though they had to dig deep and ride their luck to eliminate holders Chelsea. Luis Garcia and Rachel Williams nodded home the goals, but they couldn't have missed, so perfectly measured were the crosses from Leah Galton and Ella Toone from the Red Devils' left flank.
Their dress rehearsal three weeks ago served up a topsy-turvy 2-2 nailbiter, during which United did their best Spurs impression, with Maya le Tissier bundling home a 92nd-minute equalizer. Will the final go down to the wire too?
