Our injury-hit squad headed to the sunny south coast for a tough clash at the Broadfield Stadium and picked up a precious three points.
Kerstin Casparij opened the scoring with her first WSL goal of the season and a committed second-half performance protected that advantage.
Vivianne Miedema doubled the lead in the 90th minute but Charlize Rule’s effort in the closing stages meant City had to battle to the final minutes.
But we held on for the win before much of the squad departed for their countries during the international break.
