AFTER opening their season with six straight league defeats, Southampton Saints have now won four on the trot in the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division.

They notched their latest success the hard way, bouncing back from behind to beat Wimbledon 2-1 away yesterday.

An underhit back pass from skipper Sam Howarth gifted the Dons the lead.

But Southampton upped their game after the break and hit back with a bullet header by Sophie Kingsley-Smith from a corner.

It got better still in the 87th minute when Nicki Watts netted after good work by 14-year-old substitute Vicky Vickery.
