Holly Kennard was at the double for Norwich City Women as they beat league-leaders Chatham Town 2-1 at The Nest.
The winger found the opener in the first half and responded immediately after an equaliser from the visitors, helping the Canaries to an unbeaten run of five league games.
Andy Cook named an unchanged starting 11 from the side that picked up a point away to Real Bedford last weekend.
Both sides had opportunities inside five minutes to open the scoring, Sarah Quantrill making two comfortable saves to deny the visitors.
A corner for City required a clearance off the line and a goalmouth scramble was eventually collected by Simone Eligon in goal.
After just six minutes, Norwich found the opener, a great long throw from Olivia Cook making its way into the box and helped on by a Chatham defender, setting up Kennard nicely to nod the ball over the line.
The Canaries continued to pressure Town, a lovely strike from Natasha Snelling outside the area forcing Eligon to make a diving punch away to stop a second for City.
Freya Symonds then tried her luck with two efforts, one at an awkward angle that rolled narrowly wide and another powerful strike that was collected by Eligon.
The second half opened with more attacking play from the visitors, who had successive shots at goal, but nothing to trouble Quantrill.
Snelling played a brilliant ball to Kennard on the break, whose effort didn't have quite enough on it to challenge the hosts' stopper.
With less than 20 minutes left on the clock, the visitors enjoyed a spell of possession and eventually found their equaliser, an angled header from a corner hitting the back of the net.
It didn't take long for City to regain the lead though, as Symonds played a brilliant ball to Kennard who smashed a shot in off the post with 10 minutes to go.
City stayed in control of the game and saw out the win in what was a big result for the Canaries.
Norwich are back at The Nest in just two days as they host AFC Sudbury in another Division One South East tie on Tuesday night.
