Manchester United Women 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur Women: Maya le Tissier rescues late point for hosts

Maya Le Tissier's goal came in the week she signed a four-year contract extension with Manchester United
Maya le Tissier scrambled in a stoppage-time equaliser to deny Tottenham their first ever win over Manchester United in an enthralling dress rehearsal for next month's FA Cup final.
Le Tissier, who signed a new contract this week, headed in from a packed goalmouth after Rachel Williams had hit the crossbar.
Two goals in three minutes from Bethany England and Jessica Naz looked to have secured a momentous victory for Spurs after Melvine Malard had put United ahead at Leigh Sports Village.
Centre-back Le Tissier's intervention briefly kept United's slim hopes of Champions League qualification alive - until Arsenal wrapped up a top-three finish by beating Leicester 3-0 at the Emirates.
Malard headed in a deep free-kick from Gemma Evans to give United the lead before England was credited with the equaliser, although it was debatable whether she actually got a decisive touch to a shot across goal from Drew Spence.
There was no doubt over the potency of Naz's strike though, as she cut inside a defender and lashed past Mary Earps.
Tottenham manager Robert Vilahamn saw his side soak up concerted United pressure after the break, but goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer was largely untroubled until the final seconds.
And with England goalkeeper Earps up for a corner, Le Tissier stole in to steal a point.
Wembley classic on the cards?
Only Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal have won major honours in the English game since Liverpool won the WSL in 2014.
United or Tottenham will end that run with a maiden FA Cup win on 12 May and if the showpiece occasion lives up to this game, it will be one to remember.
Spurs will again be without the influential on-loan Grace Clinton at Wembley - as they were in Leigh - with the on-loan United playmaker ineligible.
But January signing Matilda Vinberg stepped up in her place, playing a big part in both goals, and could shine again on the big stage.
