Rehanne Skinner makes Tottenham 'battle' admission as nightmare WSL run continues

Tottenham boss Rehanne Skinner has admitted her side are in a "battle" to turn their season around following a ninth consecutive defeat in the Women's Super League.

Spurs were beaten 2-1 by newly-promoted Liverpool on Sunday, despite having initially taken the lead at Prenton Park. Rosella Ayane's well-struck effort was quickly cancelled out by Emma Koivisto's deflected strike, before Missy Bo Kearns completed the Reds' comeback in the 35th minute.

This continuation of Tottenham's rotten run in the top- flight means they are now just two points and two places above the drop zone, with bottom-of-the-league Leicester having enjoyed something of a resurgence since the turn of the year. But while Skinner is realistic about the murky waters Spurs now find themselves in, she's confident her players have the belief and quality to ensure their WSL survival.
