Bristol City edge closer to WSL return with thumping win over Sunderland

Shania Hayles' brace showed Bristol City's title credentials as they ran away to a resounding 5-0 win at Sunderland in the Women's Championship.

The Robins’ number nine netted twice before half time to move to the top of the division’s scoring charts, before strikes from Ella Powell, Jazz Bull, and Abi Harrison ensured a return to winning ways after a 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United last time out.

With closet rivals London City losing 1-0 to Southampton, the Robins are six points clear at the top with two games to play and will seal the title with a positive result over Charlton Athletic at Ashton Gate.
