Chelsea took the lead with a Beth England header giving the reigning champions the lead in the 19th minute, but Spurs levelled a minute before half-time through Kerys Harrop, who jumped unmarked to head home Kyah Simon's free-kick.

The Blues struck back from kick-off, Pernille Harder sending in a cross to find Sam Kerr who headed in the third headed goal of the night and put Chelsea in front.
