Shania Hayles hit her fifth goal of the season as Bristol City cruised to a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace and climbed back to the top of the Barclays Women’s Championship table.
Palace withstood waves of pressure for most of the first half before Hayles fired past an in-form Frances Kitching in the visitors’ goal.
And second-half strikes from Emily Syme and Abi Harrison completed the comfortable triumph after London City Lionesses had temporarily leapfrogged City at the summit earlier in the day.
