Nottingham Forest 0–1 Tottenham Hotspur on 20 March 2016

After reaching the Ryman and Capital Cup finals respectively, Tottenham Hotspur Ladies travelled to Nottingham Forest for their FA Women's Premier League Cup semi-final, aiming to reach a third showpiece.

Spurs started well. Bianca Baptiste drifted into space on the edge of the area and unleashed a ferocious drive which forced a great save from Vanessa Kinnerley before dipping a second effort just wide.

With more Spurs pressure continuing to arrive, Jenna Schillaci's precise corner almost arrived at the head of Wendy Martin, as Kelley Kennaugh was forced to get a vital touch on the ball. From the following corner, Baptiste's in-swinging delivery found Martin, who placed her header from close range over the bar.

Minutes later, Avilla Bergin did well to create space for herself before breaking away for a one-on-one chance, though her attempted lob over Kinnerley was denied at the last second. With the hosts starting to show signs of their attacking prowess, Schillaci made a vital clearance to deny a cutting pass from Jemma White, otherwise Andrea Bell would have been through on goal.

Martin then forced a back-pass from White, which gave Bergin another great chance. Kinnerley again made a vital stop with the ball subsequently falling kindly to Martin, she could only place her side footed attempt into the hands of the keeper.

Just before half-time, a great chance fell to Natasha Meade, who couldn't get a vital touch on Bell's fine delivery. Meade then had another chance from inside the area, forcing Alex Keown to ensure her half-volley couldn't trouble Toni-Anne Wayne.

It was a similar pattern in the second-half, as Baptiste's shot was deflected into the path of Ronnell Humes, who forced Kinnerley to palm her effort onto the crossbar. Following a spell of Forest pressure, Wayne did brilliantly to get a finger tip on Kennaugh's close range header, as she tipped the ball onto the post.

With the game starting to open up, a deserved goal, and winner, arrived 19 minutes from time. Eartha Pond's teasing cross from the left was glanced to the far post by Leah Rawle, as Bergin rushed in and squeezed her effort into the net via the post.
