Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw bagged a first-half brace before goals from Jill Roord and Gracie Prior helped us to three vital points at the Joie Stadium.
With the fixture evenly matched as we approached half-time, Bunny broke the deadlock in clinical fashion.
TAYLOR ON ‘IMPORTANT’ BUNNY BRACE
Buoyed by the opener, we found a second just before the break when Fowler - who had set up the first - combined with the Jamaican once again.
Fowler lifted the ball into Shaw who then controlled well and hit the ball on the turn to double our lead.
Following the break, Jill Roord scored our third with a wonderful volley from the edge of the area and there was further reasons to be cheerful when City found our fourth.
On what was her first WSL start, Prior darted down the right flank and sent the ball flying into the top corner from close to the touchline for her maiden senior strike.
