Aston Villa cruised to a 4-0 victory over rock-bottom Bristol City as they picked up a crucial three points at the bottom of the Women's Super League.
Villa sat just one place above the Robins before kick-off, but doubles from Ramona Petzelberger and Shania Hayles fired them up to ninth in the table.
Petzelberger opened the scoring three minutes before half-time, latching onto an Emma Follis cross.
Hayles doubled that lead after the break and then set up Petzelberger with a fine run, allowing the German midfielder to tap in from close range.
Hayles rounded off Villa's dominant display with a neat finish into the bottom corner to leave their hosts winless in the league.
