A late equaliser has secured Melbourne City a 1-1 A-League Women draw with Sydney FC but it wasn't enough to keep their hopes of a premiership alive.

Cortnee Vine's first-half strike looked like it would prove all the visitors needed but a 94th minute corner from Chelsea Blissett was turned in at the back post by Kaitlyn Torpey to tie things up and set up frantic finish.
