Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Bristol City: Point moves Robins off bottom of WSL table

Tottenham Hotspur and Bristol City shared the points with neither side able to find a win to ease their Women's Super League relegation worries.

Spurs took an early lead as Siri Worm curled in a brilliant free-kick but could not build on the lead.

Bristol City started well after the break as Ebony Salmon struck a post before Gemma Evans headed them level.

The point was enough to take the Robins off the bottom above West Ham.

But the visitors, who are still without an away win this season, have played two more games than the Hammers who are just a point behind.

Spurs, in eighth, are without a win in their past six league games and were punished for not capitalising on their first-half dominance.

Kit Graham had a hat-trick of chances to double their lead before half-time, including a header cleared off the line by Yana Daniels.

Gemma Davison went close to restoring their lead midway through the second half only to be denied by a fine save from City goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley.
