Ipswich Town Women failed to claim their second WSL2 win in successive weeks, losing 3-2 to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane this afternoon, ending the game with 10 women.
The Blades, rock bottom at the start of the day, went ahead in the 14th minute through Charlie Devlin, before goals on 39 and 50 from Amy Andrews put the home side three in front.
