    Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    Tottenham make a triple substitution as Chioma Ubogagu replaces Amy Turner, Celin Ildhusøy comes on for Asmita Ale and Jessica Naz makes way for Kerys Harrop.

    The changes have an immediate effect as Tottenham look to have received a new lease of life.

    Reading, meanwhile, bring on Charlie Wellings for captain Emma Harries.

    Drew Spence's shot is well held by Jacqueline Burns - the Reading keeper being tested moments after receiving treatment.

    It's just too slow for Spurs in that final third. They are not moving the ball quickly enough. Everything is being played in front of the Reading back line.

    Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    What happened there? Drew Spence just misses her footing as she looks set to pull the trigger. It's been one of those days for the Tottenham player, who missed an early opportunity in this second half.

    There is a break in play as Reading goalkeeper Jacqueline Burns receives some treatment but she looks OK to continue.

  6. CLOSE!published at 61 mins

    Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    Sanne Troelsgaard seizes on the second ball, after Tottenham head clear a free-kick into the box, and puts a shot just wide of the far post.

    Will Reading come to regret these missed chances?

  7. 'Commitment and aggression'published at 13:48 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2022

    There is so much commitment and aggression from this Reading team. Even from a Tottenham clearance, the Reading players wanted to keep it alive and keep the ball in play. Spurs are just plodding out.

  8. Postpublished at 59 mins

    Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    Fair play to Reading. They have not panicked after coming under early pressure from Tottenham.

    Kelly Chambers side are depleted by illness but continue to play their football, playing the ball out from the back and testing Spurs with their precision passing.

    They don't look like they have only won one league match this season.

    Lauren Wade puts in what looked like a great delivery from the left but misses her intended target.

  9. CLOSE!published at 54 mins

    Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    It's Reading's chance to miss from close range.

    Sanne Troelsgaard does superbly to control a Faye Bryson cross, turning on a sixpence before firing towards the near post.

    The ball seems to hit Lauren Ward just a yard out and bounces behind but credit to Tottenham goalkeeper Becky Spence, who does well to put her off.

    The Spurs stopper then pulls off an amazing point-blank save to deny Troelsgaard, sticking out her right arm to turn behind her toe poke from six yards out.

  10. 'Tottenham have to increase their intensity'published at 13:37 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2022

    Fara Williams

    Tottenham have to be more competitive. I don't think they've showed much aggression in their defensive attitude towards first and second contacts. They have to increase their intensity and bring the ball forward a lot more.

  11. CLOSE!published at 48 mins

    Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    The ball falls to Drew Spence just yards out and the Jamaican international looks set to score but blazes wide.

    An early warning for Reading there, who have had to replace Deanna Cooper at half time due to illness. Diane Caldwell is on in her place.

  12. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    The players are back out and we are under way in the second half. Big 45 minutes coming up for Reading, who can move seven points clear of bottom side Leicester with victory here.

  13. 'Really pleased'published at 13:32 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2022

    HT: Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    Anita Asante
    Former England defender on BBC Red Button

    Reading would be really pleased with the way they've approached this game because they are playing quickly out from the back, utilising the wide areas and able to get numbers up the pitch.

  15. 'Harries leading the line'published at 13:27 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2022

    HT: Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    Anita Asante
    Former England defender on BBC Red Button

    Emma Harries has created incredible chances for Reading who is leading from the front. Really good in the counter press to try and win the ball back higher up the pitch.

  17. Team news incomingpublished at 13:24 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2022

    All times in GMT

    Just to mark your card, we have two more WSL matches coming up later this afternoon.

    Liverpool host West Ham and Manchester are at home to Brighton, with both matches kicking off at 14:00.

    Team news for both matches is coming up.

  18. 'Spurs will consider themselves lucky'published at 13:20 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2022

    HT: Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    Fara Williams
    Former England midfielder on BBC Red Button

    I think Spurs will consider themselves lucky to only being a goal down. They can have a conversation at half-time and come out with a new game plan.

  19. Postpublished at 13:20 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2022

    HT: Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    It is important to put Reading's dominant first-half performance into context here.

    The camp has been laid low with flu this week - not ideal preparation for a side that has struggled for points this season.

    A second win of the campaign would be just reward for such a Herculean effort, but Tottenham will have plenty to say about that.

    Will Reading have the stamina to keep this up for 90 minutes?

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:18 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2022

    Reading 1-0 Tottenham

    That is the last act of the first half as Reading take a deserved lead into the break.

    It could have been worse though, for Tottenham, who have goalkeeper Becky Spencer to thank for the fact they are still within touching distance.
