As it happened: Tottenham 0-1 Manchester United

Tottenham host Manchester United this afternoon as the North London club go in search of their first Women’s Super League victory of the season.

Meanwhile, Casey Stoney’s side have won two and drawn one from their opening three league games and will go top of the WSL if they come away with all three points today.
