Plymouth Argyle were beaten for just the second time in 13 FA Women’s National League Southern Premier games this season as promotion rivals Watford scored three unanswered goals from the 77th minute onwards to win 3-1 at Home Park.
The Greens led at half-time after a 28th minute goal from striker Una Lue, who finished off a low cross from the right by Olivia Francis.
Had Argyle gone on to win the game they would have taken over at the top of the table from Bournemouth for at least a day, with the Cherries not in action until Sunday when they have a home match against Hashtag United.

The Greens continued to lead until the 77th minute when Watford’s Madison Perry crossed the ball from out wide on the right and the ball ended up in the far corner of the net.
Watford then went ahead in the 87th minute through Isabella Fisher as she finished off a through ball from Freda Ayisi, and Perry sealed the win for the away side with a third goal in added time.
Argyle drop to third place in the Southern Premier Division table, two points below Watford, with both teams having an identical goal difference.
