Liverpool Women player ratings as Melissa Lawley shines in draw against Reading

Liverpool Women once again only managed a point on the road in the Barclays Women's Super League, this time a 3-3 draw against Reading after they twice took the lead.

The Reds had an early chance as Melissa Lawley found herself in plenty of space on the left flank and cut it back to Rachel Furness in the box, whose effort was deflected behind for a corner. Lawley, though, was the provider for Liverpool's opener as her cross was headed home by Katie Stengel.

Matt Beard's side kept pushing for a second, the disappointment of conceding three to Brighton after taking the lead on Sunday likely fresh in the minds of the players. Stengel could've had a second after an impressive driving run from midfield saw her beat two Reading players and get a shot away, which was brilliantly defended by the hosts.
