Our fifth win in a row saw us move back to second, behind leaders Chelsea, thanks to Elisabeth Terland's sixth-minute volley.
It was a controlled performance from the Reds, who dominated in the first half and probably deserved to go in at half-time with a more comfortable lead.
Though Spurs grew into the game in the second half, United managed the game well and protected the lead.
Following the game, supporters were asked to select their Player of the Match in the United App and though it was a three-way tie at one stage, ultimately it was our no.7 who scooped the prize.
Ella Toone has been in top form since returning from injury, netting five times in as many games. Although she didn't get on the scoresheet today, she created chances and helped the team defend our lead.
She took 25 per cent of the vote, narrowly beating our goalscorer Elisabeth Terland, who claimed 23 per cent of the vote.
Our no.19 made a number of good runs but her sixth-minute strike proved the difference between the two sides in north London.
