Leicester City Women marked their return to the King Power Stadium with a 4-2 victory over Durham, making it back-to-back wins to open their WSL2 campaign.
The Foxes came into this game off the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, and it was a perfect follow up performance, leaving Leicester in second place - behind Sunderland on goal difference.
Durham, now managed by ex-Leicester boss Willie Kirk, began their season with a 3-1 defeat to Southampton and they now sit in the relegation zone with no points from their opening two matches.
Durham took the lead in the eighth minute through Beth Hepple but Leicester fought back to make it 3-1 at half time with goals from Paulina Nyström, Jessica Ziu and Asmita Ale.
