A scrambled second-half goal from Rachel Williams looked to have earned Tottenham victory against their north London rivals after Manuela Zinsberger had failed to hold on to the forward’s initial effort, until a thumping header from Vivianne Miedema in added time denied Spurs women their first win over Arsenal.
The Tottenham manager, Rehane Skinner, still managed to remain upbeat after drawing with the Women’s Super League leaders. “We still have to take a step back and realise this is part of the progress we’ve made which is massive,” she said. “To be in that situation, closer than any team has come up against them so far this season, is a massive credit to the players.”
