London Women 2–3 Tottenham Hotspur on 9 September 2007

Spurs Ladies started their league programme with a fighting win over an-injury hit London Women side.

Kat Clifton netted from a corner to give Spurs the lead, but the home side came back to lead 2-1 at the interval.

As the game restarted, Tottenham started to impose their passing game, but it was only when London Women lost their goalkeeper and were reduced to ten players through an injury to an outfield player that Spurs managed to pierce their defence.

Jessie Richards was twice in the right place to fire home a save from Vicci Pritchard’s shot and then to put a finish to Claire Singh’s pinpoint cross to steal the three points for a confident start to the campaign.
