Manchester City missed the chance to go top of the Women's Super League as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Reading at the Academy Stadium.
Georgia Stanway had fired City ahead with a wonderful strike from nearly 30 yards in the 33rd minute.
Reading could only half clear a cross and when it fell to Stanway she hit a fizzing half-volley which curled away from the goalkeeper.
But Reading threatened early in the second half, and after Gemma Bonner scrambled Fara Williams' shot off the line seconds after the restart, Jade Moore brought them level with a powerful header from a corner.
