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.

58 min: Getting a little scrappy here as United struggle to pick the Spurs lock. Have to praise the home side’s ability to frustrate a team with the firepower of Manchester United.

59 min: YELLOW! Spurs defender Neville goes in the book for a challenge on Galton. Heath actually had an advantage there as the ball ran through but the referee brought the play back.

The free-kick comes in from Heath from the left-hand side… it’s played short to Galton and the cross is headed behind by Addison for a corner.

60 min: The corner is swung into the middle by Heath and headed over by Millie Turner. Another chance goes begging for the visitors.

63 min: The second half has been flat so far with very few clear openings. You do feel the longer it stays goalless the more it could favour Spurs to steal a victory.

69 min: Worth noting that just moments before the goal Russo went for goal herself when she could have played in Heath for a simple finish. Russo took the shot on and Spencer made the save. Safe to say heath was not best pleased.

70 min: Spurs HAVE to come out and commit more players forward now, no good sitting back and taking a narrow defeat.
