Nikita Parris got the all-important goal in the first half, but it would not have been enough for the three points without a stunning reaction stop from Tullis-Joyce late in the contest.
The save – which has been doing the rounds on social media – denied a goalbound strike from Missy Bo Kearns and has gone far from unnoticed by her fellow Reds and our supporters alike.
Maya Le Tissier was the first to go straight over to the goalkeeper to show her appreciation after the full-stretch diversion, while, after the game, there was a brilliant moment in front of our travelling fans when head coach Marc Skinner lifted Phallon’s arm in triumph, as recognition towards her telling contribution in a key victory on the road.
