Miss Kick Match Preview: Watford Women (H).

👀 A LOOK BACK: LEWES FC WOMEN 0-3 BRISTOL CITY (Sunday, March 6th)

The Robins put in a very strong second-half performance to take all three points after a brace from Ffion Morgan and a goal from the in-form Abi Harrison.

Morgan was there to break the deadlock in the 69th minute when Lia Cataldo threw the ball to City's No. 24 on the left and the Welsh international drove into the box and unleashed a shot past the Lewes keeper.

Eleven minutes later Morgan was there again to bag her brace as her shot from 25 yards found the back of the net.

In the dying minutes Harrison got her inevitable goal when her pressure on the keeper paid off as she won the ball and netted her 17th of the season.
