Match Report | Ashford Town 0-5 London Bees
The Bees made it eight unbeaten following a convincing win at strugglers Ashford Town on Sunday afternoon.
The game started with McKimm’s side on top, a great chance fell to Lanza in the 13th minute when she got on to end of a teasing cross from the right-hand side, but Vigolo made a great stop to deny her.
Just one minute later Lanza made no mistake to give the Bees the lead when another ball in from the right-hand side met the number 10 who slotted the ball home.
The Bees pressure was mounting as the game went on and came so close to a second when Lanza again found herself with space to shoot at goal from inside the box, this time her effort rattled the right-hand post.
Hayley Hoare was next to test the keeper on the 22nd minute when she tried her luck from the edge of the box, forcing Vigolo into another smart stop.
Two minutes later and the Bees had doubled the lead. The ball was swung in from a corner leaving a goal mouth scramble before the ball fell kindly to Campbell who was on hand to place the ball into the net.
Tia Ginn was having a quiet afternoon between the Bees sticks until a free kick shot from distance for the hosts allowed her to use her gloves for the first time in the afternoon.
Lanza on the other hand was seeing plenty of the ball and came close to getting her second when another shot from the forward hit the post for the second time in the first half.
The disappointment was quickly washed away when Isherwood raced into the box with the ball before placing a beautiful left-footed shot into the bottom corner to make it three.
Half Time 0-3
The game could and maybe should have been 5-0 in a matter of minutes in the second half when a goal was disallowed for offside before a corner shortly after which found it’s way in was also disallowed for an alleged foul on an Ashford player.
Pressure was building again for the Bees, and it came to nobody’s surprise when the fourth was taken. Burrows found herself in the right place, right time to steal the ball before placing it past the keeper.
In the 57th minute, the Bees had wrapped up the scoring when a corner was swung into the path of Hoteit who nodded the ball past Vigolo to make it five.
Ginn was finally called into action on the hour mark when she lept high to tip the ball over the bar to deny the hosts from a free kick. Shortly after, Ginn was on hand to deny the hosts again but this time from inside the box.
Debutant Whitelock looked to get her name on the scoresheet when she got on the end of a great cross from the right-hand side, but she could only see her shot rise over the bar.
This result sees the Bees climb to 5th in the FA WNL Division One South East table!
