West Brom forced to settle for point at The Hawthorns

Phoebe Warner opened the scoring on 13 minutes when she prodded home Olivia Rabjohn’s cross at the back post.
Albion’s stubborn rearguard repelled Burnley’s attacks and they almost doubled their advantage when Delphi Cole slammed her effort into the side netting.
Burnley eventually broke Albion’s resolve with Aimee Kelly levelling the score with an audacious backheel 11 minutes after the restart.
