Sunderland Women Battle to Thrilling 3-3 Draw Against Charlton in Six-Goal Showdown!
Following impressive wins over London City Lionesses and Sheffield United, Sunderland Women carried momentum into a challenging away fixture against Charlton. Manager Mel Reay made only one change to the lineup, but the absence of Eleanor Dale raised questions among fans. Sunderland started brightly, and by the 24th minute, they had taken a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Katie Kitching and Jessie Stapleton.
However, Charlton fought back, cutting the deficit to 2-1 before halftime. The second half saw Sunderland regain control, with Jenna Dear’s stunning volley putting them 3-1 up. But Charlton launched a late comeback, scoring twice in quick succession to level the match at 3-3. Despite the disappointment of dropping points, Sunderland’s performance was their strongest of the season, showing both quality and resilience ahead of their upcoming derby clash with Newcastle United.
