Tottenham manager Rehanne Skinner blamed her side’s inability to manage momentum for passing up the chance to go second after conceding a late equaliser against West Ham.
Spurs looked set for three points in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League after Rosella Ayane’s 54th-minute penalty had given them a 1-0 lead at home.
Things got worse for the Hammers when Hawa Cissoko, who had escaped a second booking for fouling Jiali Tang, was given her marching orders two minutes later for booting the ball away in frustration.
