Reading 2-2 Brighton and Hove Albion
Reading came from 2-0 down to earn a point against the Sussex side in the battle of the two sides immediately above the drop zone in the WSL. Two goals in the space of five from Veatriki Sarri put the visitors in the driving seat, yet a brace from Emma Harries in a 15 minute spell after the break earned the Berkshire side a point. However, the result ultimately rewards neither side with Leicester City still within striking distance of both at the bottom – and Reading face the East Midlands side next.
