Report: Palace Women kick-start season with south London draw

Crystal Palace kick-started their season in fine form against fellow Women’s Championship team Charlton Athletic in an impressive opener to their 2020/21 Championship campaign.

Summary

  • Dean Davenport’s side enters the 2020/21 Championship season with a number of new signings.
  • Jessica King of Charlton Athletic scores the first goal of the match within minutes.
