Martha Thomas’ first goal of the season was enough to secure a 1-0 win at Bristol City on Sunday afternoon and secure our spot in the quarter-finals of the Subway Women’s League Cup.
Handed her first start of the campaign at Robins High Performance Centre in one of three changes by Martin Ho, Thomas was on hand to open the scoring less than a minute into the second half as she guided home Matilda Vinberg’s cross – her first goal in Lilywhite since January, 2025.
That provided to be the difference in a cagey affair in our final game of the group phase as we withstood some late pressure from the Robins to record our third clean sheet in the competition. The result sees us end this stage at the top of the group and cement our spot in the final eight, with the draw taking place on Tuesday evening (25 November).
