Tottenham host Liverpool for the first time ever in the Women's Super League

Tottenham and Liverpool will both be seeking their first victories of the season when they meet at The Hive Stadium this afternoon.

Neither side managed to score on the opening weekend as they both suffered 1-0 defeats against Chelsea and Reading. 

It is the first time Spurs will face the Reds in the Women's Super League following their promotion last season.

45 mins: Tottenham 0-0 Liverpool

I can safely say now that I'd bet my house on this staying goalless to half-time. I mean, there is only ten seconds of normal time left.

PENALTY TO TOTTENHAM

Oh, right.

Furness gallops into the box and is cleaned out as she looks to race onto the ball.

As clear a penalty as you're ever likely to see and I look like a complete moron.

GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool

Spurs have their first top flight goal!

Furness is as cool as an ice cold cucumber. She sends Preuss the wrong way and slots it into the bottom left corner.

HALF TIME: Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool

That was more or less the last action of the half. A brilliant end to proceedings for Spurs as they get their noses in front.

Jubilant scenes for the home supporters when the penalty was tucked away by Furness.

Liverpool in a spot of bother here. Vicky Jepson will undoubtedly have some strong words with her players at the break.

It's lofted in high, but Spurs deal with it easily as Ria Percival heads clear.

Whenever Liverpool probe Tottenham's box the north London side seem to deal with them with relative ease.

A worry for Jepson, that.
