Sweetman-Kirk heads late leveller as LFC Women draw with Cleveland Ambassadors

Courtney Sweetman-Kirk headed in a late equaliser as Liverpool FC Women kicked off their pre-season tour of the USA with a 2-2 draw against Cleveland Ambassadors at Notre Dame University on Thursday.

The forward, who ended last season as her side's top scorer with 12 goals in all competitions, applied the crucial finish after a stunning run and cross from debutante Melissa Lawley.

Ashley Hodson had netted for the Reds in the first half to cancel out Catarina Macario's early opener for Cleveland, who took a 2-1 lead when Sophia Smith netted two minutes before the break.
