Tottenham 1-1 West Ham: Lifelong Hammers fan Kate Longhurst scores injury-time goal to dent Spurs' hopes of finishing third in the league this season

The battle for Champions League qualification took another twist on Sunday as West Ham scored an injury time goal to dent rivals Tottenham’s hopes of finishing third.

Kate Longhurst, a lifelong West Ham fan, grabbed the equaliser in the 92nd minute when the game looked beyond her side. The Hammers, who played most of the second half with 10, had not had a shot on target before the defender met Dagny Brynjarsdottir’s cross to head the ball over Tottenham goalkeeper Becky Spencer.

The goal salvaged a point for West Ham and saw Spurs drop from second to fourth.
