Liverpool Women drew 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur in a Women's Super League match on Sunday.
Gareth Taylor stated his side felt "frustrated by a dogged and determined Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday as the visitors held on to claim a point." Liverpool created the better opportunities early on, with Ceri Holland moving inside for a weak attempt and Shekiera Martinez getting into space in the area but not managing a telling cross or shot. Tottenham went ahead five minutes prior to the interval when a Signe Gauspet delivery took a significant deflection off Sam Kerr and arced over keeper Keira Keating.
Liverpool find their equaliser
Liverpool earned a deserved equaliser shortly before the sixtieth minute. A misplaced pass from Amanda Nildén went directly to Fuka Nagano, who linked up with colleagues in a sharp one-touch passing sequence around the Tottenham back line before delivering a cross for Aurélie Csillag to nod in at the near post. The goal, set up by Nagano, handed Liverpool momentum. Vivien Endemann saw a penalty claim rejected and Csillag shot over shortly afterwards. At the opposite end, goalkeeper Lize Kop made a sharp save to tip over an attempt from Alice Bergström, who had weaved through the Spurs defence. Keating later pushed away a curving effort from substitute Olivia Holdt, and Kop blocked another shot from Csillag as the match ended level.
The draw comes after a 4-2 loss to Manchester City in their previous outing, meaning Liverpool's recent sequence is loss, draw, win. The team's performance data is shown in the detailed team stats. Their next test is the Merseyside derby at home to Everton on Sunday, 27 September, an important match in their fixtures schedule where they will aim to add to their points total.
