Brentford Women 12 Whyteleafe 0 | OneFootball

Brentford Women secured all three points with an impressive 12-0 win over Whyteleafe on Sunday afternoon.

Returning to London South East Division One North action for the first time since December, Karleigh Osborne’s side eyed a strong performance and provided just that.

Paula Holguin and Nikki Woods starred with a hat-trick each, while Chloe Logie, Lucy Potter, Maddie Phillips, Samantha Read, Alissa Down and Kirsty Matthews each scored one.

Despite Whyteleafe coming into the game last in the table, the visitors made life difficult for Brentford in the opening 20 minutes. The Bees dominated possession, however Whyteleafe defended strongly.

Osborne’s side broke through on 20 minutes through Logie, the striker finding the back of the net to get the ball rolling for the hosts.

Woods doubled the lead a minute later, putting Brentford in a dominant position in the space of two minutes.

Phillips was proving a threat down the right side with her pace and passing. On 28 minutes, she pushed deep into the box before crossing to Potter, who tucked the ball nicely into the bottom right corner to make it 3-0.

Six minutes later, Phillips was on the other end of the equation as she found the back of the net off Logie’s assist to make it four.

Phillips added another assist to her game tally five minutes later, this time freeing up Holguin with a superb through ball and the striker making no mistake with her finish.

Holguin had her second on the brink of half-time as he tapped home a Chloe Webb cross at the back post.

The beginning of the second half mirrored the opening 20 minutes of the first half, as Whyteleafe continued to challenge the Bees despite the latter dominating possession.

Woods found the breakthrough on 58 minutes, the winger taking a touch outside the box and firing the ball into the back of the net.

Logie was fouled inside the box three minutes later and awarded a penalty, however the Whyteleafe goalkeeper made an impressive save to deny the striker.

Brentford had their eighth goal four minutes later, Woods turning to assists as she sent in a corner to Read, who headed it home.

Osborne’s substitutes made an immediate impact after coming on, Down the leader as she scored on 75 minutes to make it 9-0.

Holguin didn’t have to wait much longer for her hat-trick, the striker finding the back of the net three minutes later to take the Bees into double figures.

Matthews joined Down in scoring off the bench with 10 minutes to play with the winger netting her sixth goal of the season.

Whyteleafe went close to finding a goal as the game approached full-time, however Brentford goalkeeper Freya Walker was there to make a strong save and preserve her clean sheet.

In stoppage-time, Woods capped off a superb day with her third goal, putting home the rebound after having her first shot saved.

Brentford now turn their attention to Camden Town at home in the Capital Cup on Sunday 16 February.

Brentford Women: Walker, Phillips (Matthews 66), Graver, Holmes (Down 66), Logie (Cottrell 66), Webb (Woods 84), Woods (Troth 66), Holguin, Worsley (Aboul Kheir 66), Read, Potter
