The sides went in goal-less at the interval despite Leyla O'Brien hitting the crossbar in the opening 10 minutes for Dons, and then forcing the Worcester keeper into a save, while returning Megan Attenborough also saw an effort fly off target.

Wood would have the final chance of the first-half, but found the back of the net five minutes after the turnaround, firing Hannah Warren's pass into the roof of the net from the edge of the box.

Mitchell stuck away her ninth goal of the season 15 minutes later, converting Attenborough's ball, before Wood got her second of the day four minutes later to wrap up.

Monday's draw saw Charlie Bill's side given a home tie against the Blues, who currently sit fifth in the Women's Championship. The match will be played on Sunday December 10.
