Bristol City beat Crystal Palace and Charlton Athletic drew with Aston Villa among pre-season friendlies on 1 September.

Bristol City were 3-1 winners over Crystal Palace, Lexi Lloyd Smith giving them a half-time lead after Emily Syme’s effort came back off the bar. Mari Ward and Jesse Woolley extended the advantage, before a late reply from Molly-May Sharpe.

Charlton took the lead early in each half but were twice pegged back by Aston Villa in a 2-2 draw. Brazil and Barton gave the Addicks the advantage, Adriana Leon and Paula Tomás got the equalisers, the second of which came at the death.

Portsmouth struck two very late goals to defeat Arsenal U-21s 3-1, Erin McLaughlin put Pompey ahead before Maddie Earl equalised but Ava Rowbotham restored the lead on 89 minutes and Nicole Barrett swiftly added a third.
