OL Reign and the Seattle Sounders both claimed hard-fought road draws on the weekend, although just how they came about couldn’t have been more different. Liverpool won a weird one against Tottenham thanks to a last minute Diogo Jota goal. Bella Bixby saved the Portland Thorns’ blushes with a beautiful back heel that earned a draw for the top team in the NWSL. Meanwhile in MLS Sporting Kansas City can’t do much other than blush as they barrel through the opening third of the season without a win.
