Tottenham Women promoted to the Women's Super League

Jessica Naz's early strike earned Championship Tottenham a place in next season's Women's Super League courtesy of a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa.

Naz curled the ball into the top corner from Coral-Jade Haines' short free-kick to get her side off to the perfect start.

However, Amy West levelled within four minutes of the restart as Villa staged a fightback.

Haines rattled the crossbar with a 54th-minute volley as the visitors sought to restore their lead but the final whistle came as a relief, with the hosts pressing once again.

As a result of their draw, Spurs are four points clear of third-placed Durham with just a game each to play and they will be promoted subject to meeting the FAWSL Licence criteria.
