Tottenham's top half ambitions suffered a major blow with a 1-0 defeat at WSL strugglers Reading losing back-to-back league games for the first time this season.
An early own goal proved the difference, but in truth the Lilywhites didn't deserve anything from a disappointing display in Berkshire. Reading, who had only won once in the league going into Sunday, took the lead when a goalmouth scramble saw Spurs defender Amy Turner head into her own net in the 12th minute.
Tottenham lacked real rhythm for long periods and had their goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer to thank for keeping them in the game. Manager Rehanne Skinner made a triple change in the second half which did install some life into the performance, but they couldn't find the elusive equaliser.
