Natasha Thomas scored five goals for Ipswich Town Women as they progressed to the next round of the FA Cup after another big win over MK Dons in Felixstowe.

Joe Sheehan's side went into this game fresh from their 13-0 win over the Dons in the Southern Premier Division last week.

Town opened the scoring in the first minute when Shanua Guyatt set up Thomas who fired home, before the forward notched her second of the afternoon in the 17th minute, with Sophie Peskett this time supplying the assist.

Two minutes later, it was 3-0 when Angela Addison scored from the penalty spot, before she later made it four via another spot-kick.

Then Leah Mitchell, Peskett and Guyatt completed the first-half scoring with Town 7-0 up at the break, the same scoreline from last weekend.

The Blues then came out of the blocks quickly again by scoring one minute after the restart, when Guyatt bagged her second of the game.

A few moments later, Thomas completed her hat-trick for the ninth goal, before it was 10-0 when Kyra Robertson netted from a corner.

New Jamaican international Thomas headed in her fourth, before she completed the scoring for her fifth of the game - and the Blues’ 12th of the match.

They switch their focus back to league action when they travel to Cheltenham Town next weekend.

Town Women: Hartley, Mitchell (Wearing), Boswell (c), Garrad, Barker (Hughes), Robertson, Fleming (O’Brien), Peskett (Bryant), Guyatt, Addison (King), Thomas.
