Bristol City came from two goals down to level in stoppage-time at Aston Villa in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League basement battle.
Despite a lively and threatening opening from Bristol City, they were soon trailing to an own-goal. Freya Gregory’s cross was headed goalward by Shania Hayles and although Sophie Baggaley made a great save, the ball deflected in off Meaghan Sargeant.
The lead was doubled when Elisha N’Dow sent a long free-kick into the box and Natalie Haigh’s header dropped into the corner of the net.
