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 0-1 Manchester United

73 min: SUB! Break in play again here and it’s Kennedy who is down once more. She’s really been in the wars today. Looks like she is coming off this time.

Yep, she’s replaced by Kit Graham.

75 min: Toone let’s fly form the edge of the area but it’s straight down Spencer’s throat.

Heath is then fouled and wins a free-kick in a dangerous area. Before that though, Heath and Zelem make way for Staniforth and Smith.

77 min: And it is the substitute Staniforth who takes the free-kick but she balloons it well over the bar.

79 min: Since the first ten minutes Spurs have produced almost nothing in the final third. Let’s remember, they only have one point in the WSL so far this season. Need to start putting points on the board as soon as possible and that means doing everything they can in this final ten minutes.

81 min: It’s another free-kick for United as they break the play up once more.

It’s Staniforth over it once more. She goes for goal from 30 yards or so but it’s well over again. I wouldn’t give her the next free-kick. That’s two woeful attempts now.

82 min: YELLOW! Oh dear, Millie Turner. The goalscorer is robbed by Percival and the United defender has to foul her as danger was looming there.

Spurs have a free-kick now. What can they do with it?

83 min: Worm tries her luck from 25 yards out but it’s never troubling Earps as it whistles two or three yards of her left-hand post. Waste.

85 min: Neville chops down Galton and the Spurs defender has already been booked. She appears to get away with that as the ref opts not to give her a second yellow.

But on the replay it does look like Neville got a foot on the ball. Justice done, you might say.

87 min: Corner for Spurs as a good ball in is hooked behind by Amy Turner. It’s whipped in but Millie Turner firmly heads away. Tottenham just cannot create a clear-cut chance here.

Ayane’s opportunity in the first few minutes of the game has been their best chance. They do not look like creating another.

89 min: Dean tries to stand a cross up but it goes aimlessly out of play onto the top of Earps goal. Poor again.
