Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Reading: Rehanne Skinner's side make it three wins from three (original) (raw)

Tottenham extended their winning run to three matches as they beat Reading in the Women's Super League.

Reading defended well against a dominant Spurs side, but the hosts lacked a cutting edge in front of goal.

They finally found a breakthrough in the 85th minute when Jessica Naz slotted past Grace Maloney.

Victory moves Rehanne Skinner's side joint top of the WSL with Arsenal after three wins from three.

Spurs' best chance in the first half came five minutes before half-time, when Ria Percival, Kit Graham and Chioma Ubogagu saw a flurry of shots blocked.

It looked like the game would finish goalless, but substitute Tang Jiali made the difference as she held off the Royals defenders before poking the ball through to Naz, who kept her composure to finish.

Reading, who managed a solitary shot on target, remain winless and pointless after three games.

Spurs' next game is against Arsenal in an FA Cup quarter-final, before they return to WSL action against Leicester on Sunday, 3 October - the same day Reading host Everton.
