Larkin's late drama earns Palace women well-deserved point against Leicester

A DRAMATIC injury-time goal from Abbie Larkin secured a well-earned point for Crystal Palace women in a 2-2 draw with Leicester City at the VBS Community Stadium.

Palace dominated the first half in south London but could not convert one of the many chances they created.

The Eagles set the tone from the first whistle, as Molly-Mae Sharpe forced Leicester goalkeeper Jarina Leitzig into a fine double save just two minutes in.

On 14 minutes, Annabel Blanchard nearly earned an assist on her return to the starting line-up, after the midfielder chipped a cute ball in behind the defence and into the feet of Sharpe.

Sharpe was not able to generate enough power on her effort though, and Leitzig smothered the ball with ease.
