Chelsea and Man City both booked their spots in the Women's FA Cup fifth round, beating Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest respectively.
It was a comprehensive victory for Man City as they beat Nottingham Forest 8-0 at The City Ground, with Georgia Stanway becoming City's new record women's goalscorer.
The 23-year-old overtook Nikita Parris with her hat-trick on Saturday, taking her tally to 64 goals. She has done so in 171 appearances, having joined the club as a teenager in 2015.
All three of her goals came in the second half, opening things up in the 50th minute before adding goals in the 71st and 92nd minutes to further extend City's lead.
Caroline Weir had opened City's scoring spree inside two minutes with Khadija Shaw and Filippa Angeldal making it 3-0 before the break.
Shaw nabbed her own double for the afternoon - scoring again in the 69th minute - with Lauren Hemp also on the scoresheet in a dominant performance.
Chelsea - current holders of the FA Cup - were 3-1 winners against Aston Villa.
Emma Hayes' side went 2-0 ahead inside half an hour at the Banks's Stadium thanks to goals from Guro Reiten and Pernille Harder.
Reiten completed her double and added Chelsea's third in the 62nd minute. Ramona Petzelberger scored a late consolation from the penalty spot for Aston Villa, but the Blues booked their spot in the next round.
The Solskjaer family wrote another chapter in Manchester United's history on Sunday when Karna made her debut for the women's team, following in the footsteps of Ole Gunnar as the pair become the first father and daughter to play for the club.
The Norwegian, 19, came off the bench in the 85th minute of a 2-0 FA Cup win away to Bridgwater United as her father, who was renowned for his goalscoring feats as a substitute, proudly watched on from the stands.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked as coach of United's men's team last November and will be more fondly remembered for his playing career, scoring 126 goals in an 11-year spell, most famously hitting the winning strike in the 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich after coming off the bench.
Karna was given her first opportunity in the women's first team after scoring for the youth academy in a 5-0 win over Aston Villa last week.
"Obviously she's got a famous dad but she wants to be famous in her own right," said Manchester United Women head coach Marc Skinner.
"We were privileged to have Ole as our manager, as well as a wonderful player for this club, but again, it stops becoming about Ole as much and more about Karna."
