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.

44 min: Green fouled by Zelem. That should break up the play enough to see Spurs through to half-time. Little bit of frustration creeping in now for the visitors? They should be in front but Spencer has kept her side level in this one.
