FT: Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd Manchester United Player of the match Celin Bizet speaking to Sky Sports: "We had the ball lots and it was fun. We want more goals than this but 1-0 and three points - I'm happy. " On being booed by Tottenham's fans: "I love it. I think it's fun! I had a really nice time at Tottenham and I know they love me. " FT: Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd Helen Ward Former Wales striker on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra I think they deserved it - they edged it in terms of quality. It wasn't their best performance in recent times but Tottenham didn't show up in possession today and they'll be disappointed with that. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd Victory for Man United to climb back into second place in the WSL table. Elisabeth Terland's sixth-minute volley proves the difference between the two sides. A fifth league win in a row and a ninth clean sheet in the league for Man United. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd Defender Clare Hunt finds herself on the edge of Man United's box but her scuffed shot trickles tamely towards Phallon Tullis-Joyce. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd 60 seconds left. Is there time for one more Tottenham attack? They have a throw-in deep into Man United's half. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd Helen Ward Former Wales striker on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra You wouldn't have thought when that early goal went in from Terland that we'd be seeing United holding on in the corner trying to keep a 1-0 lead. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd We're halfway through the six additional minutes at the end of the second half. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd More pantomime jeers around the ground as former Spurs player Celin Bizet is announced as player of the match. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd Jayde Riviere makes way for Man United, with Aoife Mannion taking her place. Riviere has been excellent on the right tonight. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd Helen Ward Former Wales striker on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra I am surprised we don't see a little bit more of Grace Clinton for Manchester United. She had such a great season last year for Tottenham, had a real eye for goal, has scored goals for England, started the season pretty well for United as well. I don't know what has happened there, if she's hit a loss of form or if there has been a falling out or something. You'd think she's the sort of player that could come into a game like this and add a real attacking threat for United but she seems out of favour at the moment which is a shame for her. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd Hayley Raso comes roaring into space on the right but Olivia Holdt can't pick her out with a sliding pass. Tottenham have lacked that little bit of quality in the final third. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd A double change for Tottenham. Debutant Josefine Rybrink is replaced by Anna Csiki while the hard-working Jess Naz makes way for Matilda Vinberg. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd Tottenham look like they're readying another substitute as we head towards the final five minutes. Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd Hinata Miyazawa just runs and runs and runs. It's the 84th minute and she's still pressing Tottenham goalkeeper Lize Kop. Elisabeth Terland also scored twice against Spurs in a 3-0 win in October 2024 Manchester United moved into second place in the Women's Super League after Elisabeth Terland's superb first-half volley was enough to see off Tottenham. Norwegian striker Terland despatched Jayde Riviere's sixth-minute cross clinically to put United ahead in a first half that Marc Skinner's side dominated. Ella Toone went close to stretching the lead when her chip hit the post, but Terland, Leah Galton and Dominique Janssen all spurned good chances before the break. Spurs could not find a way past the tightest defence in the WSL despite improving after the break, and United moved above Arsenal to trail unbeaten Chelsea by seven points after 13 games. It was also United's fifth consecutive win, a run that started after their 1-0 defeat by Chelsea in their only loss in this season's WSL. The game's solitary goal was a delight, Riviere quickly picking up on a second chance to pick out Terland after fine work by ex-Tottenham forward Celin Bizet, who was booed throughout by some home fans. Terland found space to move on to Canada full-back Riviere's cross and clip it low and just inside the post beyond Spurs goalkeeper Lize Kop. The hosts stepped up their performance after the restart but rarely threatened the United goal. Jessica Naz shot straight at United keeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce, while Australian defender Clare Hunt scuffed a weak shot at Tullis-Joyce deep into stoppage time at the end of the match. Get the latest WSL news on our dedicated page At the final whistle, Skinner and his United side were clearly delighted at grinding out a win against opponents who had been in good form in recent weeks. Spurs were unbeaten in four games, and had lost just twice in their last seven outings at home, but they were made to look second-best for much of this encounter. United have kept a clean sheet in their last two WSL outings, and Rebecca Knaak's goal just before half-time in the Manchester derby was the last time Tullis-Joyce was beaten. Toone's superb chip that shaved the post in the first half deserved to double their lead, and Terland could have added to her earlier goal just before half-time, but the 23-year-old former Brighton forward slipped and miskicked. After the resumption it was the turn of United's defence to impress, and they held Spurs off with some comfort until Hunt missed her chance to equalise after 95 minutes.
