Scott Rogers' charges went into the game on the back of an eight game unbeaten run in the WSL, but just like the recent Continental Cup defeat Solihull Moors would not prove to be a happy hunting ground for the Reds.
Things didn't start well for Rogers when he was forced to make a late change after Mandy Van Den Berg picked up a knock in the warm-up, and Martha Harris came into the starting XI.
Both sides had good chances in the opening 45 minutes with Emma Lundh and Laura Coombs going close for the Reds.
