Leicester City Ladies maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 1-1 draw against high-flying Radcliffe Olympic in the Midland Combination.

Leicester were low key in the first half at Aylestone Park and the visitors took a deserved lead.

After the interval, Leicester worked hard but Radcliffe were always dangerous on the break.

Leicester knocked on the door several times before a foul on Kayleigh Hillier in stoppage time resulted in a penalty kick, which was put away by Gemma Ball.
