Natasha Thomas scored twice and Sarah Brasero-Carreira, Bonnie Horwood and Anna Grey once each as Ipswich Town Women thrashed Plymouth Argyle 5-0 at Home Park for the second year running.

Brasero-Carreira gave the Blues the lead in the 39th minute with a strike from the edge of the area after Grey had laid the ball off to her.

And in first-half injury time, skipper Horwood made it two with a free-kick which left the Pilgrims keeper standing.

With nine minutes left on the clock, Thomas made it 3-0, flicking sub Sophie Peskett’s effort at goal.

The club’s all-time top scorer made it 4-0 with her second of the afternoon a minute into injury time when she followed up after a Peskett shot had been blocked and Grey completed the rout two minutes later from close range from a cross from the right.

The Tractor Girls remain fourth in the FA WNL Southern Premier Division.

Town: Quantrill, Boswell, Wearing (Evans 61), Lafayette, Hughes, Horwood (c), King, Grey, Brasero-Carreira (O’Brien 85), Biggs (Peskett 69), Thomas. Unused: Meollo, Godfrey. Att: 2,122.

Freddies_Ears added 23:17 - Nov 20 Tougher game than the score suggests. Plymouth had many chances to score, and we weren't quite on our game for much of the match. But the last 15 minutes saw us pull away, our subs were better than theirs, our fitness better too. Great to see Sophie Peskett back off the bench; she is class.
