Second-half strikes by Aggie Beever-Jones and Aimee Palmer lifted Bristol City to a 3-2 away victory over London City Lionesses and also took the Robins into second in the Championship table.
City manager Lauren Smith hailed a second-half resurgence from her side as they showed greater confidence and creativity in possession.
"I think it was a really transitional game. I think we knew that coming into it because both teams like to get the ball down, play through the thirds and break teams up between the lines so I think when we both tried to do that, we cancelled each other out in midfield quite a lot," Bristol City manager Lauren Smith said.
