Saffron Walden started the day in third place, but that position, just two points behind leaders Wisbech, now belongs to City after a dominant second-half display. Walden travelled with sickness in their camp which might explain why they collapsed late on.

The visiors opened the scoring against the run of play in in the early stages, but Tierney Augustine equalised before the break after a fine run and pass from player-of-the-match Anna Faux.

City made positional changes for the second half and they soon took control of the game. Mel Ludlam shot City in front before Augustine and Katy Lee added further goals.
