Thanks for tuning in to today's coverage, we'll be back tomorrow for a massive day of WSL action with Manchester United playing Liverpool for only the second time in the league and Arsenal hosting Chelsea at the top of the table.

I'll leave you with Emma Smith's report on today's match.

Rachel Daly now tops the WSL's scoring chart with nine, one above Manchester City's Khadija Shaw.

Here's how it all unfolded:

Tottenham Hotspur have lost their last 5 games in the Women's Super League, their longest losing streak in the competition (since at least 2011/2012).

The referee blows his whistle and Aston Villa kick off 2023 with success at home.

They can't. The ball drops to Kerys Harrop in the box but it's saved by Villa goalkeeper Anna Leat.

Spurs have a free-kick. Can they do it?

Spurs are throwing absolutely everything at this in the dying moments but it doesn't look like they'll find the goal they've been searching for.

Now it's Villa's turn to take to the bench as Olivia McLoughlin will get a one-minute cameo after replacing Kenza Dali.

Spurs make another change, with Drew Spence making way for striker Nicola Karczewska.

Five minutes added on at the end of the second half. Can Tottenham capitalise on their good run?

What a chance!

Beth England is free in the box and has the keeper beaten with her shot but it goes wide. That looked like it was destined for the back of the net.

Spurs look as if they might have a chance as Bizet lofts a ball towards England, but Anna Leat jumps highest and claims it before the Tottenham striker.

And if you want evidence for that: Aston Villa have attempted 521 passes in this game, their highest total in a match in the Women's Super League this season.

The hosts are being very patient here which is probably why the game doesn't feel like it's got the same sort of intensity as it did in the first half. They're not risking launched it forwards any more and are instead slowly building up as the clock ticks down.

Like buses, the referee gets his cards out once again shortly after the last to reprimand Drew Spence, who tripped Asmita Ale.

The referee reaches into his book once again and shows Laura Blindkilde-Brown a yellow card for a foul on a Spurs player.

The Villa fans are enjoying this current move of play. The ole chant is out at the Bescot Stadium as Villa saunter around Spurs' defensive third.

That was very close to number three. Alisha Lehmann pulls the ball back from the by-line and Rachel Daly fires at goal, but Tinja-Riika Korpela reacts well to tip it over the bar for a corner.
