Liverpool FC Women were defeated 1-0 by Tottenham Hotspur Women at The Hive on Sunday.
Rachel Furness’ penalty on the stroke of half-time condemned Vicky Jepson’s team to their second successive defeat at the start of the Women’s Super League season, with the Reds having to play the final 25 minutes of the game with 10 players after Niamh Fahey was sent off.
Spurs enjoyed the better of the first period and went in ahead at the interval thanks to Furness, who was brought down in the box by Becky Jane before picking herself up to send Anke Preuss the wrong way from the spot.
