Analysis: Mean United grind it out at Spurs

United's 1-0 win at Tottenham will not linger long in the memory, but it could prove to be vital if they are to retain any hope of catching Chelsea or seal qualification for the Champions League.
They are the tightest defence in the WSL, having conceded just five times this season and not at all in over four-and-a-half hours of play since Rebecca Kraak's goal for Man City in the Manchester derby.
But the game's outstanding moment was when Elisabeth Terland latched onto Jayde Riviere's cross to clip home a superb volley for the game's only goal after six minutes.
United could have had more, with Ella Toone going the closest when her chip shaved the post later on in the first half.
Spurs improved after the break, but weak efforts from Jessica Naz and Clare Hunt were as close as the home side got.
