Minus Lauren James, who pulled out of the line-up late on, Chelsea put out arguably their strongest XI for Sunday's FA Cup fifth round clash with second-tier Crystal Palace, but were struggling to break them down. That was until Ramirez popped up with a match-winning contribution in the 81st minute, as her incredible flick guided the Blues to a 1-0 victory and a place in the quarter-finals.

WATCH THE CLIP

Chelsea brought Ramirez into the club in January following the news that Sam Kerr had suffered a devastating ACL injury during a warm weather training camp over the winter break. The Blues paid big money for the Colombia international, so much so that she will become the women's game's most expensive player if the add-ons in the deal are paid. Keira Walsh's move to Barcelona cost the Catalans £350,000 ($400,000) but Ramirez's fee could total £426,000 ($537,000).

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Emma Hayes' side will find out their FA Cup quarter-final opponents on Monday evening when the draw for the next round takes place. Their focus now, though, turns back to the Women's Super League, with the table-topping Blues set to welcome second-placed Manchester City on Friday night for a massive clash in the context of the title race.
