Midfielder Freya Hunt has found her shooting boots of late after scoring three goals in the last three games for Preston North End Women, and she has big aims for the season.

Preston North End Women lost for the first time this season, ending a seven-match unbeaten start to the campaign, with a 3-2 defeat to Haslingden Ladies and Girls.

Madison Hadley equalised after North End went behind in the first half, but the visitors pulled away in the second, with Freya Hunt’s late effort ultimately just a consolation.

In the first few minutes, Haslingden dominated possession, leaving PNE with plenty of defending to do.
