LFC Women play out dramatic draw with Charlton Athletic

Liverpool FC Women were held to a dramatic 2-2 draw with Charlton Athletic on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds fell behind in the first half of the FA Women’s Championship clash as Shauna Vassell netted one of several opportunities for the home side.

But Liverpool had the better of the second period and twice struck the woodwork before Rachel Furness found the target to level.

Debutant Ceri Holland completed the visitors’ turnaround two minutes from time, only for Charley Clifford to rescue Charlton a point from the penalty spot.

Amid increasingly snowy conditions at Hayes Lane that eventually blanketed the turf, both sides fashioned half-chances, though it was the home team who edged in front on 19 minutes.
