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.

The two sides met for the first time ever last season, with the Red Devils coming away comfortable victors in a 3-0 win.

World Cup winner Alex Morgan remains absent from the Spurs squad as Lilywhites supporters continue to await her first start in England.

Tottenham 0-0 Manchester United

23 min: Russo plays a cutting ball through the Spurs defence towards Press. The American reaches it and looks to use a pace to get to the byline but she runs out of room. The World Cup winner looking the most dangerous player on the pitch right now.

Tottenham 0-0 Manchester United

24 min: CHANCE! Best chance of the game there as Press slides her compatriot Heath in and the American has an absolute age to pick her spot. She eventually let’s fly but it’s palmed away strongly by Spencer who stood up well to close the angle. Should have scored.

27 min: Spurs now pin Manchester United in their own half again. A long throw comes in from Neville an Ayane tries to control but it’s flicked away by the visitors.

Neville is then doggedly trying to win the ball back for her side and chops down Galton in the process. Bit of rest-bite for United now as Spurs continue to use their physicality on United.

30 min: Heath finds space again on the left hand side, she cuts in onto her right foot but blazes the ball well over the top.

32 min: Wonderful ball in from Manchester United left-back Galton is brilliantly tipped away from danger by Spencer.

That was a wicked ball and a key touch from the Spurs keeper because Russo was waiting at the back post. It still fell to her but she failed to control the ball after it had changed direction.

34 min: United work a corner well and eventually find Ladd 12 yards from goal but her effort is tame. Another chance goes begging for United.

35 min: Neville down after tangling legs with Ladd here. Karen Hills looking a little puzzled here as her side’s early pressure has been quashed now. United getting on top here.

Tottenham 0-0 Manchester United

37 min: Ayane looks isolated up front as the Spurs midfield drop deeper into a defensive block. United have control of the midfield now and you feel Karen Hills’ side would take half-time now.

It’s another corner for the visitors which is played short for Heath but the cross in is taken by Spencer.

Tottenham 0-0 Manchester United

40 min: Heath is involved in everything at the moment. Spurs try to nick the ball and break but heath gets un between Green and Addison to stop the attack.

The American looks a cut above everyone else on the pitch.

41 min: BRILLIANT SAVE! A well worked corner is eventually pulled back by Heath and Zelem curls one from the edge of the area towards the top corner and Spencer superbly tips the ball over the top.

Excellent from the Spurs No. 1.
