Hemp, 23, was slotted through perfectly by Park in the 27th minute, as her first-time left footed effort squeezed past Sophie Baggaley in the Brighton goal to give City the lead away from home. Her eighth goal of the Women's Super League season so far.
Mary Fowler would go on to add a second for the visitors just before the break, before Khadija Shaw and Laura Coombs also got on the scoresheet in the second half.

It was a vital opener from Hemp to settle the nerves for City, as they then went on to cruise to an easy 4-1 win at The Broadfield Stadium. Gareth Taylor's side are now level on points with Chelsea at the top of the table – both on 40 points.

Following the win away at Brighton, City's focus will now shift to the Manchester derby next weekend. Taylor's side won the first meeting of the season 2-1 back in January and will be hoping they can replicate this scoreline next weekend to continue their push for WSL glory.
