Hammers suffer via late late goal

|

Teenager Emma Harries scored a dramatic stoppage time equaliser as Reading came from 2-0 behind to draw against West Ham.

The BBC reports: ‘Headers by Lisa Evans and Grace Fisk had put the Hammers in control but Abbey-Leigh Stringer started Reading’s comeback when she scored an own goal before Harries struck in the 92nd minute.’

West Ham, have slipped to seventh in the table and are now without a win in three Women’s Super League matches ahead of next week’s London derby with fourth-placed Tottenham.

They had 15 attempts – six on target – had efforts by Katerina Svitkova and Tameka Yallop cleared off the line, while Claudia Walker struck the bar with an acrobatic attempt.
