THEY may be a league below their opposition in the men's game, but PNE wasted no time in finishing off Manchester City in this game, winning 5-0.
Preston opened the scoring on 15 minutes when Kristy Bilsborough seized on a bad defensive clearance to set up Joanne Ball who scored with a great strike from the edge of the area.
Within a minute it was 2-0 when Charlotte Benson followed up a terrific left footed shot from Ball after it had rebounded off the bar. Benson, Bilsborough and Natalie Brewer completed the rout.
