Bristol City Women 0-4 Man City Women: Mary Fowler double sees Man City go six clear at the top of the WSL as Robins relegated
Mary Fowler scored a fine double as Manchester City went six points clear at the top of the WSL with a 4-0 win at Bristol City, who have been relegated to the Women's Championship.
The absence of Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw showed at times for the league leaders, who had 30 shots at Ashton Gate, but a stunning striker from Fowler (62) finally breached Bristol City's defences.
The Australian added a second soon after (75), before an unfortunate own goal from Amy Rodgers (77). A late Alex Greenwood goal on the stoke of full-time sealed the win.
It sees Man City add to what could be the all-important goal difference - now 46 to Chelsea's 39 - although they have played two games more than the Blues, who are back in WSL action against Liverpool on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports.
For Bristol City, it is an immediate return to the Championship - from which Crystal Palace were promoted earlier on Sunday - and they are yet to win at home in the WSL this season.
