KATIE WILKINSON scored a second-half winner to boost Coventry United Ladies’ survival hopes with a vital 1-0 win against 10-woman Crystal Palace at Hayes Lane.
Wilkinson headed in at the back post from Olivia Fergusson’s cross on 67 minutes to secure a crucial three points after Grace Coombs was dismissed for Palace shortly after the break for a foul on Charlie Estcourt near the edge of the penalty area.
