Khadija Shaw put speculation over her future to one side to send Manchester City into the Women's FA Cup final as they came from 2-0 down to beat defending champions Chelsea 3-2 after extra-time.
City were confirmed as Women's Super League champions on Monday, ending a decade-long title drought, but a domestic double looked to be drifting away after Erin Cuthbert and Sam Kerr scored for Chelsea.
But Mary Fowler clawed one back in the 87th minute and Shaw levelled for City in added time with a fine volley on the turn before heading home from Yui Hasegawa's cross in the additional half-hour.
Shaw, out of contract at the end of the season, has been strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and the Jamaica forward gave her possible new employers a flavour of what she offers.
Chelsea were left to rue a strike from Kerr being ruled out after the assistant referee incorrectly flagged the ball had gone out of play before Ellie Carpenter's cross to the Australian.
Had it stood Chelsea would have been 2-0 up in 10 minutes while deep into extra-time, Sjoeke Nusken's header was clawed onto the bar by Khiara Keating as City set up a final showdown against Brighton.
