Leicester had a series of chances to equalise in the second half but despite their best efforts, Jonathan Morgan’s Foxes were unable to avoid a rare away defeat. Umotong was the first to threaten the Leicester goal early on but saw her effort deflected behind before Ashworth-Clifford was denied by visiting goalkeeper Kirstie Levell. Leicester continued to pile the pressure on Lewes at the start of the second half, with Smith firing wide from just inside the area before the hosts cleared the subsequent corner. The visitors made several changes as they pushed for the equaliser but Lewes almost doubled their lead on 84 minutes when Ashworth-Clifford weaved her way into the Leicester box.
