Alisha Lehmann receives supportive message from boyfriend Douglas Luiz after Aston Villa's dismal exit from the FA Women's Cup

Lehmann had a night to forget as Villa crashed out of the FA Women's Cup fourth round on Saturday following a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Everton. Karoline Olesen opened the scoring for the Merseyside club before Katja Snoeijs netted a brace to seal a comprehensive win.

After the defeat, the Swiss star expressed her disappointment on social media as she took to Instagram and wrote: "Really hard and disappointing game today, focus on Friday from now on 🙏🏼".

Under the post, Lehmann's boyfriend and Aston Villa men's star Luiz left a supportive message as he wrote: "My girl ❤️".

The frustrating defeat on Saturday will surely dampen the confidence of Carla Ward's Villa side, who have had a difficult 2023-24 season so far. In the Women's Super League, they have managed to register only three wins from their first 10 matches and are just four points above rock-bottom side Bristol City.

The 24-year-old and her team-mates will hope to turn things around when they next take on Leicester City in their first league game of 2024 on January 19. Lehmann's partner Luiz, meanwhile, will be back in action for Villa's men's team against Chelsea in the fourth round of the FA Cup seven days later.
