A 2-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest has left Fylde Women with one point from their first two games of the FA Women's National Northern Premier Division season.

Fylde pressed hard at the Halbrooke Stadium but struggled to create chances and are still waiting for their first goal of the campaign.

Fylde's Megan Hunter was the busier keeper, saving from Lyndsey Harking after 10 minutes and then tipping Sopie Domingo's effort against the crossbar.

The better chances continued to fall Forest's way until Domingo fired them in front five minutes before the break.

Victory was sealed on 78 minutes, when Olivia Cook's effort bounced down off the bar and was deemed to have crossed the line. An offside flag saw a third Forest 'goal' by Yasmin Mosby ruled out.
