Great ball!

Verena Hanshaw decides to put a really early cross into the box from the left. It is into that really dangerous corridor between the goalkeeper and penalty spot but Shekiera Martinez can't reach it in the middle.

Encouraging from the Hammers though.

Tottenham are controlling possession in the closing stages of the first half.

They are playing the game on their terms.

Jessica Naz races through on goal but a perfectly timed tackle from Gemma Bonner stops her getting any further.

A good spell for Palace. They earn successive corners from the free-kick awarded for that foul on Larisey.

The second is met first by Ria Oling but she can't get a clean connection on the header and it drifts out to the left channel and West Ham eventually clear.

Jenna Clark has a shot from distance and it is only just over the bar.

She has been lively for Liverpool so far this afternoon.

A early card.

West Ham defender Anouk Denton is into the book for pulling down Clarissa Laris­ey as she carries the ball forward.

Larisey did really well to keep her body in front of the ball.

Crystal Palace are trying to play out from the back but you can see West Ham playing a high line.

They know that Palace are under a lot of pressure and they're trying to make them make a mistake.

It's been all West Ham so far.

Tottenham look more in control since going ahead.

Amazing what a few goals can do for the confidence.

Jessica Naz floats a cross into a dangerous area but none of her team-mates can get on the end of it.

It's all West Ham at the moment.

Some good pressing sees them get the ball back high up in the Palace half.

Katrina Gorry immediately looks to get the ball into the box but it is just out of reach for Viviane Asseyi at the back post.

Crystal Palace have really struggled to keep clean sheets this season.

The defensive frailties are there to be seen and they've got to work on that resilience whether they're in the Championship or WSL next season.

Liverpool have conceded nine goals in the last 15 minutes of the first half, only Crystal Palace (10) have conceded more in the Women's Super League this season.

It seemed like Liverpool were in full control but two goals in six minutes from Tottenham has completely turned the game around.

The home side are stunned.

A positive start from the visitors.

Viviane Asseyi finds some space in behind the Palace defence on the left. She drives into the area and crosses towards the back post but it is hacked clear.

The hosts get us under way. Will they avoid relegation today?

A reminder that they have to avoid defeat to take it to next week.

It's a huge gift but one that Tottenham will gratefully accept.

They are back in the game and that will give them some much-needed confidence.

• Crystal Palace have lost each of their seven WSL London derbies by an aggregate score of 32-4, conceding at least three goals in each defeat.
• West Ham United are unbeaten in each of their past four WSL games (W1 D3), last going longer without defeat in the competition in January 2022 (5 games).
• West Ham United are winless in their past 14 Women’s Super League away games (D3 L11), since beating newly promoted Bristol City 2-1 in January 2024.

Rehanne Skinner says her West Ham team are "a long way off" breaking into the top four of the Women's Super League despite their recent success against the division's leading sides.

The Hammers are unbeaten in their past four WSL matches, with draws against leaders Chelsea, third-placed Manchester United and Manchester City in fourth.

Skinner said her team showed what they are capable of during those games, but they have now got to "deliver that against the teams that are in and around us".

West Ham, who have never finished higher than sixth in the WSL, currently sit seventh in the table - four points off fifth-placed Liverpool with three games remaining.

"We're a long way off breaking into that top four in reality," Skinner said.

"But I think at the same time, the way that we're able to compete stands us in good stead for continuing to progress from where we were last year.

"These are all building blocks that will help us to be more successful year on year."
