West Ham 3-4 Tottenham: Grace Clinton stars for Spurs in WSL classic

Grace Clinton scored twice and set up another goal to help Tottenham earn a 4-3 victory at West Ham in one of the best Women's Super League matches this season.

Spurs are now level on 18 points with Manchester United and Liverpool but only after being pegged back twice by the Hammers, who at one stage trailed 3-1 in a thriller at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.

Clinton's sixth-minute opener was cancelled out by Risa Shimizu although the Spurs midfielder set up Celin Bizet with a superb pass to restore their lead just before the break.

Clinton then netted a controversial third just two minutes after the restart yet West Ham fought back once again with Viviane Asseyi and Amber Tysiak pulling the score level at 3-3.

However, it took just five minutes for Spurs to regain their advantage when substitute Jessica Naz fired into the bottom left corner from inside the box to take the points.
