Aston Villa's women earned a 1-1 draw away at Chelsea in the Women's Super League on 5 September, denying the hosts a routine victory. BBC Sport reports that the visitors found a late equaliser to secure a share of the spoils.
The goal arrived against the run of play, disrupting what had been a dominant performance from Chelsea. According to the BBC's match report, the result represented the first occasion on which the London club have failed to take maximum points against Villa in the WSL.
For the visitors, snatching a point in such circumstances will provide a significant boost early in the campaign. Chelsea, meanwhile, will reflect on an opportunity missed after controlling large stretches of the contest without converting their advantage into three points.
