Villa score an injury-time equaliser in front of 25,000 at the Emirates to take their second point in three WSL games.

Fletcher Boyd, Villa's star summer signing, in his own half, spots the 'keeper off his line, and hits an incredible strike that flies over the Palace ‘keeper and into the net. But MOTM is Owen Asemota, who stopped the visitors from getting more than one.

Villa are reduced to 10 in the 82nd minute as Noelle Maritz was shown a harsh red card following a tackle inside the final third.
