'Spurs have to really switch on until half time'

Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham

I think Tottenham have just got to really switch on now until half time. It's been a good half from them.

Post

Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham

Chelsea are just building up another head of steam here as half time approaches.

The home side have uncharacteristically had just 41.8% of the ball so far but they have made the better of the chances in the game.

Sandy Baltimore goes for a shot from distance and the deflection from Molly Bartrip comes back and hits her in the face.

A sore one but she will be ok to continue.

A nice team move from Chelsea to unpick the Tottenham low block.

Sjoeke Nusken plays the ball into the feet of Mayra Ramirez in the box, she spins and shoots low but she is denied by a good save from Becky Spencer.

Spence, you could see she was trying to aim for the top corner, just inches wide of the post.

A really good team move.

Beth England's eyes light up as she is set in on goal behind the Chelsea back line.

Kadeisha Buchanan does well to recover though so the former Blue has to make do with a corner which Tottenham cannot make anything of.

'Naz so skilfull'

I think every time a player goes near Jess Naz all they can do is bring her down.

It's just her pace isn't it, she's so skilful when the ball's that close to her, she can just turn you.

YELLOW CARD

Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham

Clare Hunt goes into the book for a cynical foul on Mayra Ramirez.

Definition of taking one for the team, much like Sandy Baltimore ten minutes or so ago.

Post

Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham

Jess Naz has looked a threat for Tottenham so far this evening, drawing in defender after defender to earn fouls for her side.

Tottenham fire in the free kick from midway into the Chelsea half but the home side head the ball clear.

Post

Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham

We've seen another angle of the Tottenham goal on the TV replay and that looks like the ball has slightly gone over the line.

It's very hard to tell without the use of goalline technology, so you can understand the decision from the officials to award the goal.

Post

Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham

Chelsea's players are furious and rightly so.

The replay did appear to show that the England keeper had just kept the ball out of her net. But only just.

I'm sure we'll hear more on that if the decision comes to cost the champions.

GOAL - Chelsea - 1-1 Tottenham

Amanda Nilden (21 mins)

What happened there?

Tottenham full back Amanda Nilden attempts a cross into the box but misjudges it and it floats towards goal instead.

Chelsea keeper Hannah Hampton looks to have parried the ball down and caught it just ahead of her goal line but it's been given.

Tottenham level in the most bizarre circumstances!

Post

Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham

In midweek Robert Vilahamn said his players "want to take the fight" into their performances, and they have certainly done that so far.

They do need to be careful though as Chelsea are looking frightening every time they come forward.

'Like Spurs are a couple of seconds behind Chelsea'

Everything Chelsea are doing now, it's so sharp, it's so quick.

Tottenham are just switching off.

It's almost like they're a couple of seconds behind this Chelsea team in everything they do.
