Full -time honours even, Leeds had tweaked at half time and 2nd half nullified the forward runs of Sophie Bell. The Reds looked to have had the win but a last gasp equaliser made a possible 3 points just 1 so no change in league positions.
Manager Chris said after the game "disappointed with a draw away to Leeds tonight... that in itself shows our progress this season". Assistant Ash Williams added "We are all on a huge learning curve and we will take something away from last night. The squad has come so far in a short space of time and there is still so much more potential to unlock there"
