MANCHESTER, England — Canadian international Janine Beckie scored as Manchester City blanked Liverpool on 3-0 Sunday to advance to the SSE Women’s FA Cup semifinals.

After Beckie opened the scoring, Georgia Stanway added a pair for Man City.

In other FA Cup quarterfinals, defending champion Chelsea won 1-0 at Durham, Reading downed visiting Manchester United 3-2 and West Ham, with Canadian international Adriana Leon in the starting lineup, won 1-0 at Aston Villa.

The semifinal draw is set for Monday.

City, which stands second in the FA Women’s Super League table at 11-0-5, beat Arsenal in February to hoist the FA Women’s Continental League Cup.
