    Phoenix coach Bev Priestman's singing the praises of import striker Makayla Woods after they salvaged a point from their latest match in football's women's A-League


    The American struck in the 87th-minute to earn Wellington a 1-all draw away to Melbourne Victory - her fourth goal since joining the club as an injury replacement

    With a three-week break now incoming for the latest international break - Priestman's reflecting on what Woods has added to the squad.



    Wellington remain second on the ladder, five points back of leaders Melbourne City but with a game in hand.
