Palace leave it late to stun Charlton in comeback win

Bethany England scored a dramatic late winner for Crystal Palace as they beat Women's Super League bottom club Charlton in a thrilling south London derby.

The hosts took the lead after 57 minutes when Charlton goalkeeper Sophie Whitehouse bundled a Lexi Lloyd-Smith cross into her own net at the near post.

However, after Teyah Goldie conceded a penalty for a foul on Cassandra Korhonen, Elisha N'Dow equalised on 73 minutes when she headed in the rebound following Keira Flannery's spot-kick coming back off the crossbar.

Charlton took a 2-1 lead a minute later when Leah Davidson tucked in at the near post after Jodie Hutton's shot had been parried by Palace keeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin.

At that stage, they were on course for their first top-flight points since the 2007-08 campaign.

However, they were left shattered as Palace rallied late to deny the side who were promoted with them from WSL2 last season.

An Aimee Everett header hauled the hosts level before England tapped in the winner in the 90th minute to leave Charlton still without a point after nine games.

Palace, who were second bottom going into the game, moved up to 10th spot with the victory.
