Thank you once again for your company this afternoon!
City returned to winning ways in style, and gave our push for the WSL title a major shot in the arm in the process.
Goals from Hemp, Fowler, Shaw and Coombs moved us level on points with Chelsea at the WSL summit against a Brighton side who had beaten us 1-0 in November's reverse fixture.
Keep across mancity.com and the official Man City app for reaction to this fixture, and see you next week for the Manchester derby!
City have now won each of our last ten WSL matches, conceding just five times in the process.
Our record winning run is 12 games, which we achieved back in 2021.
"It's a unique game obviously because it's at the Etihad.
"It's one to look forward to, players, supporters and myself, we're all excited about that game.
"I expect a really nice surface next week which we're looking forward to."
"It's just one game at a time. It's great to be at the top, but it's really important.
"We were top at the start of the season then all of a sudden within a couple of games we're six behind. We've clawed that back and now we're level.
"It's great credit to the team, and now it's just about one down and six to go for us."
"She deserved it. The more we see of Mary, the more we feel she'll improve.
"She started the season really well, came out of the team and is now back in it at the right time and is contributing really well."
"Very good, a good win for us and a good performance.
"I thought we built up really well and the player executed the game plan really well.
"Hempo was really good, she gives such energy to the team and got us that really important goal. I think up until that point we were controlling things but needed to make more of our final third play.
"She made that difference for us."
"It's really exciting. As footballers that's what you want, coming into every game knowing it's a must-win and you have to score as many as you can.
"It's so exciting for us as a group, the confidence throughout the squad is massive and we're really looking forward to the rest of the season unfolding."
