West Ham Women Lose London Stadium Debut Against Tottenham in Front of Record Crowd

West Ham United Women fell to a 2-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on their historic debut at the London Stadium.

Plenty of women's games have been played in front of huge crowds at the stadiums of their male counterparts this season, with the likes of Stamford Bridge and the Etihad Stadium both hosting women's games since the start of the campaign.

West Ham took to their official website to announce that 24,790 fans – the largest ever crowd for a London WSL game – piled into the London Stadium to watch the game, but unfortunately the momentous occasion ended in a 2-0 defeat for the Hammers.
