Riko Ueki scored an injury-time equaliser to snatch a point for West Ham at home to Liverpool in the Women’s Super League.
A draw seemed an unlikely result after the visitors’ dominance throughout the majority of the game, and it was not until time added on that West Ham managed a shot on target.
The Reds controlled the first half and Ceri Holland went close shortly before the break, her curling effort rattling the crossbar after neat footwork.
The woodwork came to West Ham’s rescue once more as Gemma Bonner nodded a corner against the frame of the goal.
Liverpool ramped up their pressure, and the goal had been coming when Marie Hobinger broke the deadlock, coolly tucking into the bottom right corner from the edge of the box.
But West Ham fought back late on with Izzy Atkinson having an effort saved before Ueki bundled home from close range in the fifth added minute.
The result means Liverpool failed to bounce back to winning ways following last weekend’s Merseyside derby defeat by Everton.
West Ham have four points from their opening four games, while Liverpool have seven.
More to follow.
