Aoba Fujino’s euphoric first top-flight goal for the Club in the 78th helped us to the hard-fought success at Brisbane Road in what was our first assignment since the conclusion of February’s international break.
The hosts made a bright start in the capital but Gareth Taylor’s side broke the deadlock against the run of play and the Japan international was at the centre of the clinical attack.
Fujino played a neat one-two with Laura Blindkilde Brown before whipping a vicious cross into the box where Vivianne Miedema powered a header into the back of the net for her eighth in sky blue.

However, Robert Vilahamn’s side equalised with 15 minutes remaining in the first half through Bethany England’s improvised effort.
Following the interval the contest ebbed and flowed with both teams creating opportunities, but as the game progressed, a draw grew in likelihood.
That was until Fujino combined well with Yui Hasegawa on the right to arrive into the box before she shifted the ball onto her left foot and slammed it into the top corner.
City then hung on for three precious points in east London as we move into an action-packed month of March.
