"For a while the mood was buoyant in Dagenham as West Ham fans felt their early season woes were finally lifting. Leading Leicester with four minutes to play, news filtered through that Liverpool had conceded a 93rd-minute equaliser to share the points with Brighton in a 1-1 draw. It meant that three points would lift the Hammers off the bottom of the Women's Super League for the first time this season."
"The Hammers' frontline has the potential to be very dangerous with the pace of Viviane Asseyi and Ffion Morgan, the instinct of Shekiera Martinez and the industry of Riko Ueki. They have, however, been plagued by a lack of clinical finishing. Chances presented themselves to all four of them throughout but it was only a scrappy finish from Martinez that put their noses in front."
West Ham led Leicester late but conceded a 97th-minute equaliser to draw 1-1, leaving both clubs stuck at the bottom of the Women's Super League. Both teams finished the opening seven weeks without a win, suffering seven defeats each before earning draws that perpetuated parity in the relegation battle. West Ham created numerous chances through Viviane Asseyi, Ffion Morgan, Shekiera Martinez and Riko Ueki, yet lack of composure and clinical finishing cost them. A scrappy Martinez goal had put the hosts ahead, but a late Sari Kees low delivery was turned in by substitute Shannon O'Brien to salvage a point for Leicester.
