On Sunday Crystal Palace travelled north to Durham where they ended the month on a high to sit fourth in the FA Women’s Championship. Palace were on top form as their defence held strong against the hosts to ensure a single, spectacular Anna Filbey strike was enough to secure three points.
Shortly after the game kicked-off Palace ‘keeper Fran Kitching safely collected a header from Durham to cut-out the game’s first chance of note. Opportunities to score continued to fall early on however as Palace’s Shauna Guyatt darted down the left-wing only to be intercepted by the home defence.
