Abigail Harrison scored a last minute equaliser to salvage a point for Hibernian as they drew 3-3 against title rivals Glasgow City at the Excelsior Stadium in Glasgow.
Harrison scored a hat-trick for the visitors with Denise O’Sullivan, Nick Docherty and Lauren McMurchie replying for the home side - meaning Glasgow remain top of the SWPL on goal difference ahead of Hibs.
O'Sullivan opened the scoring for City after seven minutes, finishing well into the bottom corner after being set up by Julie Fleeting.
Harrison replied soon after with a long range effort which escaped the dive of City keeper Lee Alexander and then put her side in front, firing home at the back post following a Lizzie Arnot cross, giving Hibs a 2-1 lead at half-time.
City responded strongly after the break, hitting the post and forcing two saves from Hibs goalkeeper Jenna Fife.
The home side levelled the scores soon after when full back Docherty curled a right foot shot high into the net.
City then took the lead with fifteen minutes remaining when McMurchie converted in a crowded penalty box.
City looked to have secured the points but Harrison completed her hat-trick with 30 seconds of added time remaining after chasing down a long ball.
Glasgow City now turn their attentions to the UEFA Women's Champions League last 32 draw this Thursday and are back in action away to Aberdeen next weekend.
