Charlton hold leaders Liverpool
It was something of a strange day in the FA Women’s Championship on Sunday with four matches being played, which produced a total of only six goals, four of which were scored by one team.
Leaders Liverpool were in action at home to Charlton Athletic and with second placed Bristol City not having a game, the opportunity was there for Matt Beard’s side to go ten points clear at the top. The two teams had met seven days earlier, with a late goal giving the Reds victory on that occasion, but this time it was to be a frustrating day for the leaders as the match finished goalless. Leanne Kiernan nearly broke the deadlock late on but was denied by a great save from Addicks goalkeeper Eartha Cumings. The result means that as things stand, Liverpool require eight more points from their final four games in order to sew up the title.
None of the chasing teams were able to pick up any significant ground on the top two but Durham Women are back in third place after their match away to Lewes also finished in a goalless draw. A game of few chances saw the Wildcats make the long journey home from Sussex with a point under their belts and although Lewes remain eighth in the table, they are still only four points behind Durham and can still challenge for a place in the top three.
Watford took a huge step towards retaining their status as they won 1-
Given the scorelines in the other games on the day, the other was something of a goal feast as Sunderland came from one behind to run out 4-
