Crawley Wasps' winning run comes to an end against Chichester
Chichester City's Tash Stephens was adjudged to have been fouled by Niamh Stephenson, despite Wasps protests and Jess Lewry converted from the spot as the visitors beat Wasps 2-1.
For Chichester, it avenged their defeat to Crawley in the Women’s FA Cup last month and for Wasps was their first taste of defeat – or anything other than a win – since May 2018.

In the second half, Cole’s free-kick rebounded off the post and Charlotte Young stooped to head in the rebound.
A refereeing call out of the blue, as Stephenson and Stephens tangled while looking at a high ball into the box, presented Chi with the opportunity to win it, which Lewry took. They return to league action on Sunday when Leyton Orient are the visitors (kick-off 2pm).
Wasps: Gibbs; Niamh Stephenson, Young, James, Palmer; Drury, Cole; Heather, Stow, Rabson; Webber. Subs: Graves, Measures, Russell, Davies, Fleischman.
