Ella Rutherford came off the bench to score twice for Ipswich Town Women as they continued their unbeaten start with a comeback 2-2 draw with Exeter City at St James Park this afternoon.

Joe Sheehan's side went into this game off the back of their 4-0 East Anglian derby day win at Norwich in the FA WNL Cup on Thursday.

Town had to come from behind to secure a point in Devon, with the hosts opening the scoring in the 32nd minute when Sophie Gillies took advantage of a defensive error from Town and slotted the ball past keeper Natalia Negri.

The Grecians made it 2-0 in the 51st minute when Gillies was again the scorer after slotting the ball past Negri into the bottom corner in the 51st minute. 

 

However, Town got a goal back in the 72nd minute when debutant Rutherford netted her first goal for the club with a 20 yard free-kick. 

The summer recruit scored her second of the afternoon to level to game in the 89th minute when the Town winger slotted past the keeper from the edge of the area.

This result sees them maintains their unbeaten start as they won their opening two games against Oxford United and Hashtag United. 

They return to action when they host Lewes in Felixstowe, kicking-off at 2pm. 

Town Women: Negri, Hughes (Barker), Mitchell (Boswell), Wearing, Williams, Fleming (King), O’Brien (Rutherford), Guyatt, Addison (Fisher), Peskett, Thomas
