    Here's how today's two results have impacted the Women's Super League table.

    Man City fail to make the most of neighbours United's draw at West Ham yesterday, so they now sit seven points off the Champions League places with just three games left to play.

    WSL top six - MCI fourth - way off UWCL spots

    Aston Villa remain in 11th place on goal difference but that huge win at Tottenham sees them put an extra cushion between themselves and rock bottom Crystal Palace.

    They are seven clear of the Eagles with just three games left to play.

    FT: Tottenham 2-3 Aston Villa

    So in the end Tottenham's valiant second half fightback was in vain as they were undone on the counter.

    Their league winless streak in the month of April stretches to: P11 D4 L7.

    The sooner this disappointing season ends the better for Robert Vilahamn and his players.

    It's a big, big win for Aston Villa as Kirsty Hanson's winning goal moves them seven points clear of the relegation spot with three games left to play.

    They've won back to back league games for the first time since January 2024 and in doing so take a massive step towards securing their top flight status for another year.

    Into the eighth minute of stoppage time we go.

    Tottenham have to get the ball into the box here, and fast.

    Clever play from Rachel Daly as she runs the ball into the corner before winning a precious free kick for the visitors.

    You'd expect nothing less from such an experienced pro.

    Bethany England nods the ball in front of herself as she tries to break down the wing but Anna Patten steps in to dispossess her.

    Will we get one final twist in this topsy turvy second half?

    We are firmly in "last chance saloon" territory for Spurs and "stick it in the corner" territory for Villa.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:55 British Summer Time 20 April

    Changes all around as we enter the third minute of stoppage time.

    For Spurs Lena Gunning-Williams is on for Josefine Rybrink.

    Villa swap Gabi Nunes on for Lucy Staniforth.

    GOAL - Tottenham 2-3 Aston Villapublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 20 April

    Kirsty Hanson (90+1 mins)

    Surely the winner for Villa!

    Kirsty Hanson shoulders the "super sub" tag yet again as she runs free of the Tottenham defence before sliding a low finish into the bottom corner beyond Lize Kop.

    That could be two winning goals in as many weeks for the Scotland international.

    Rosella Ayane looks to pick out fellow substitute Bethany England at the back stick but the striker can't jump high enough to get her head on it.

    Kirsty Hanson does well to get to the byeline but her cut back sails over everyone in claret and blue in the middle.

    Chasity Grant fires it back towards the six yard box but Missy Bo Kearns can't get enough purchase on her header to send it goalwards.

    Tottenham keeper Lize Kop is down and needs a bit of treatment for what looks like a foot injury.

    Both managers have called their players over to the touchline for a quick chat as we head into the final five minutes.

    If it stays like this Tottenham will have won 16 points from losing positions this season. Since the start of last season only Manchester City (19) and Arsenal (17) have won more points from losing positions in the WSL.

    On the other side of the coin Aston Villa have dropped more points from winning positions than any other side (34), soon to be 36 if this ends level.
