Olivia Smith continues to be the marquee attacking threat for Arsenal, though her final ball could do with a bit of improvement.

She had the right idea with that cross for Alessia Russo but not the execution as Toko Koga was able to cut it out.

Arsenal continue to push forward but Tottenham are showing every bit of the defensive mettle Martin Ho has instilled in them since his summer arrival.

I agree with KB, Caldentey has not been at her brilliant best today, however she did put that earlier chance on a plate for Olivia Smith.

So it's well worth keeping her out there for those moments of magic.

Caldentey hasn't been at it today but it's not just today, I think she's not quite been the same player she was in previous seasons. The connections just don't seem to be there.

There were moments in the first half where she was moving forwards with real enthusiasm but it's trailed off.

It's Martin Ho's time to shuffle the Spurs pack.

He introduces club captain Beth England into the fray in place of top scorer Cathinka Tandberg.

Lize Kop has just waved at the medics before taking a seat on the turf, forcing Emily Heaslip to call a halt to proceedings.

The Arsenal fans behind her goal greet Kop with boos for what they think is tactical stoppage.

Chaos in the Tottenham box but they manage to escape unscathed.

Olivia Smith is on the end of the move this time but she hits her rasping drive straight at Lize Kop, and Caitlin Foord has the ball taken off her toes before she can fire in the rebound.

Olivia Smith opts to slide the ball forward for Frida Maanum this time but Drew Spence does well to shield it behind for a Tottenham goal kick.

When these two teams met in pre-season it was a seven-goal thriller, with Spurs running out 4-3 victors.

I'd be grateful for just one goal here.

Arsenal boss Renee Slegers turns to her bench again, this time bringing on Frida Maanum for Stina Blackstenius.

Evaliina Summanen has gone down here after a clash of knees with Arsenal substitute Taylor Hinds.

Painful one but the Finland international should be ok to run it off.

Olivia Smith races past Amanda Nilden again on the far side, to rapturous 'ooos' and 'ahhs' from the travelling fans behind the Tottenham goal.

Her cross is just about dealt with though.

Already a massive difference brought onto the pitch through Olivia Smith, so much more movement and threat. But to be fair, so far, Spurs have dealt with it quite well in just protecting those central areas but really dangerous from Smith.

Tottenham are hanging on a bit here.

It's like the whole Arsenal team have had several espressos each at half time the way they are hassling and harrying them.

Huge opportunity missed for Arsenal. Olivia Smith does so well to get space but Blackstenius just leans back and it goes absolutely sailing.

Smith is causing chaos in the Tottenham defence. They just don't know how to stop her.

This time her cut back picks out Emily Fox, but the United States international is denied by a brave block from Toko Koga.

The attendance here today is 6,788 which is almost double Tottenham's previous record crowd for a WSL game at Brisbane Road.

The previous record was 3,754.

Olivia Smith's first involvement almost yields the opener, but after she dances past several challenges and cuts it back, Stina Blackstenius blazes it over the bar.

That's exactly why Renee Slegers wasted no time in bringing on the first ever million pound player in women's football history.

Daphne van Domselaar is called into action to punch clear Amanda Nilden's second corner of the half from under her own crossbar.

The North London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal is the most played derby fixture in WSL history that has never seen a red card brandished (11 meetings).

In light of Arsenal's need to win this game, perhaps it's wise McCabe wasn't risked further with Spurs noticeably targeting her at the end of the first half.
