Three points for either side would have kept them within touching distance of league leaders Chelsea, and it was Bronze who struck gold first, volleying home through a crowd of bodies just before the 25-minute mark.
United pushed Gareth Taylor’s side all the way, with Christen Press in particular going close, but Hemp added a second on the rebound, City’s 500th goal, with 20 minutes to go.
And Weir killed the game off with a goal of the season contender ten minutes later, chipping Mary Earps from outside the box to seal the points and local bragging rights in spectacular fashion.
