Two more goals from crosses see Watford Women beaten at home

Defeat to bottom side Lewes made it four straight losses for Watford Women who now only stay off the bottom of the Championship table on goal difference.

In fact there was almost an air of inevitability when the visitors did get the winner, and particularly the manner in which it was scored. They have the players, they have the style of play and they have the determination. Currently, though, the sum of the parts is not adding up to enough.Leading scorer Carly Johns suffered a slight ankle knock in that game and dropped to the bench with Ellie Head.

It was another failure to deal with a ball from the flanks that was their undoing as they didn’t clear Reanna Blades’ cross from the left and when it ran to Lewes skipper Caragh Hamilton at the back of the six-yard box she rifled a rising shot past Sophie Harris. Haines floated a ball into the box and Baptiste stretched to prod a volley beyond Hamilton, only to see it come back off the crossbar.

Then, in the fifth minute of stoppage time, Lewes won a penalty when Bennett pushed over the breaking Blades in the box.
