Palace Women's unbeaten start to the season ended on Sunday, when Blackburn Rovers snatched all three points in the cruelest of fashion.
The clock registered 90+4 when Rovers' Natasha Fenton's deep cross caught the wind and looped in over Chloe Morgan's outstretched arms. Another bitter pill to swallow for Dean Davenport's side with Charlton Athletic also scoring late in their season-opener to turn a victory into a draw for the Eagles.
The signs are positive overall, though, with Bianca Baptiste and Cherelle Khassal both scoring against Rovers for their second strikes of the season, to continue the excellent understanding they have displayed so far in this campaign.
