A late equaliser from Arsenal denied our Women’s Under-19s three wins on the bounce as we were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw on Sunday afternoon in the Professional Game Academy (PGA) League.
Jhanaie Pierre got us off to the perfect as she opened the scoring after two minutes at Hotspur Way to net her third goal in as many games at this level and although that was cancelled out by Freya Woods for the visitors, we reinstated our lead on the stroke of half-time, Eloise Summers-Mee slotting home a penalty for her first of the campaign.
We knew last season’s PGA League champions would come out with plenty of fight after the restart and we managed to keep them at bay with very few opportunities but with seven minutes left on the clock, we were dealt a blow as Angelina Bramble capitalised on a mistake at the back to net the all-important equaliser for her side as we were forced to share the points.
Despite the late heartache for our youngsters, Matt Sharman’s side still remain unbeaten this season across all competitions – four points from two league games and an emphatic 7-1 win over London Bees in the senior cup.
