Tottenham Hotspur remain in the midst of relegation after their 2-2 action-packed 90 minutes against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. Beth England came to the rescue twice for Spurs bringing them back on level terms in a completely different story to their 8-0 destruction of Brighton just months before.
Elizabeth Terland put the visitors ahead early on which was almost immediately cancelled out by England’s header 90 seconds later. Geum-min Lee slotted the ball past Rebecca Spencer in the 65th minute to retake the lead only to be cancelled out again by England’s thunderous strike.
Neither team deserved a loss, both teams left nothing on the table in their fight for survival in the top tier. Spurs were the better side in the first 45. Much better organisation, hunger and energy compared to the visitors. However, Brighton hit back in the second half and took control and it became a ruthless showdown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The final whistle blew and players from both teams fell to their knees in exhaustion.
