Nine goals under the lights kicked-off Aston Villa's 2025 in style last night.

The Villans defeated Bristol Rovers 9-0 at the Bescot Stadium to book their place in the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup.

First-half braces from Rachel Daly and Gabi Nunes as well as Paula Tomàs' first goal in the Claret and Blue saw the side head into the break with a five-goal lead.

Chasity Grant also got off the mark with a goal instantly after the restart as her and fellow subsititue Kirsty Hanson extended Villa's lead.

Nunes secured her first hat-trick with a 65th minute header before Jill Baijings marked her debut with a goal to seal the victory.
