Coventry City Ladies won 1-0 at Nottingham Forest in a WPL Northern Division fixture.
At Basford United FC, the North Division leaders took the lead when good work from Ashley Neville and Katie Lowder allowed Amber Hughes to cross for Helen Dermody to head home.
The pressure on the Forest goal continued with the home keeper doing well to block from Dermody before Callen Barber's long range effort went over.
City continued to apply the pressure with an Amber Hughes shot dipping over and took their corner count to nine but they still led 1-0 at half-time.
Craig Nicholls side battled away in the second half and made sure they took the three points.
