Brentford Women progressed to the third round of the Women's FA Cup for the second time in club history with a 3-1 win away at Marine Academy Plymouth.
Asees Sangha's brace sent the Bees on their way before Kelsey Bright pulled one back with a superb strike from range, but it was Ilana Harris-Walters' top-corner strike that sealed the win for Carly Williams' side.
Highlights: Marine Academy Plymouth v Brentford Women
Lucy Potter went inches away from opening the scoring on six minutes when she feinted past her defender from left-wing back and sent a looping cross in that floated over Emily Drinkwater-Robinson and landed just wide of the post.
Katie Gilligan then had two strikes from the edge of the box two minutes later, the first blocked and the rebound bouncing off the wrong side of the far post.
The Bees were really knocking on the door; Potter found perfectly by Abbi Smith on the left, whose cross was met by Wiktoria Kiszkis but headed over on 12 minutes.
Imogen Cochrane, who was fantastic as the left-sided centre-back all afternoon, had a strike from range well held by the Marine Academy keeper on 23 minutes.
Brentford's dominance paid off and the goal came on 30 minutes from the side that they had exploited brilliantly. Keeper Saskia Reeves-Priestley's diagonal pass was brought down by Potter on the left, who crossed to Kiszkis.
Her strike was blocked but she managed to nutmeg the keeper with an improvised backheel whilst on the floor to find Sangha, who curled into the far corner with composure to make it 1-0.
Reeves-Priestley was called into action for the first time on 40 minutes, saving with a strong hand to tip round the post as she dove to her left from Ellie Bishop's bending effort.
The Bees finished the half with real intent, almost scoring an outstanding team goal on the brink of the break. Smith's stepovers bamboozled Yaz Golley before she slid in Kiszkis, who cut back in to the box where Smith fizzed a deflected effort narrowly wide.
From the resulting corner, Makeba Black found space in the box but her strike was just off target and Williams' side went into half-time with a slender but thoroughly deserved lead.
Smith forged a good chance three minutes after the restart, rolling inside the Marine Academy full-back before arrowing a strike toward the bottom corner but Drinkwater-Robinson read the flight of the strike well.
The home side came close minutes later, Kayleigh Turner pressing Reeves-Priestley's heavy touch but the Bees' keeper recovered well to block her strike and hold on to the loose ball.
Marine Academy were much better in the second half and made it a real battle for the next twenty, but on 65 minutes Kiszkis and Sangha combined again to double the west Londoners' lead.
Kiszkis battled past her centre-back on the right before squaring to Sangha, who scored her second of the day, swivelling in the box and tucking her strike into the far corner to give Williams' side breathing room.
With that, Brentford began to string together some slick moves again, skipper Rhian Cleverly going close next with a difficult left-footed volley from the edge of the box.
The Bees looked to be home and dry, but with 15 to play, Bright pulled the home side back into the game, lofting an excellent strike over Reeves-Priestley's head from 30-plus yards.
Williams wanted a response and her side gave her exactly that - within a minute they had restored the two-goal advantage. Maddie Phillips drove through midfield and poked a perfect pass into substitute Harris-Walters, who finished expertly into the top corner to make it 3-1.
The Bees saw out the victory to make it to the third round of the FA Cup for the second time in club history. The draw will take place on Monday 16 November at 7pm via the Women's FA Cup YouTube channel.
