Tottenham beat Man City in shootout to reach semis

Amy James-Turner was the one to score the winning penalty; she helped her team, Spurs to win the shootout 4-3, as their goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer saved 2 of City’s spot-kicks. City, which had an early lead from Fowler in an even-controlled performance at Brisbane Road, saw a pass from Shaw arrive at her before making a deflected shot to pass Spencer, reports Football Scores Today.

Ahead of the game started, it became easy for City to take advantage, so they deployed neat passing moves to take the game to Tottenham’s defence line as they looked to extend their lead. However, they did not succeed, and the misfortune came back when Bethany England forced the game into extra time with a sixth-minute goal in a mad rush, rolling the ball into an empty net after a defensive mix-up saw keeper Khiara Keating failed to complete a simple clearance.

Therefore, even after the unavoidable equaliser that motivated the Spurs, they still had better chances to progress before penalties. Spurs triumphed in the Champions League semi-finals, making a debut in the elite club competition’s final four. The defeat of City definitely felt worse due to having to replace the WSL’s leading scorer, Shaw, who appeared to suffer a shoulder injury in the second half of the game.

Tottenham, one of the final four newcomers, will join Chelsea, Manchester United, and Leicester in the semi-final draw, which takes place at around 08:I will be talking on BBC Radio Five Live Breakfast at 8:00 a.m. UK time on Tuesday.
