The match, which ended in a dramatic penalty shootout, saw goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer emerge as the hero for Spurs.
Despite a valiant effort from Manchester City, it was Tottenham who prevailed in the shootout, with Spencer showcasing her goalkeeping prowess by saving two crucial spot-kicks from the opposition.
The game began with an early lead for Manchester City, as Mary Fowler found the back of the net in the 6th minute.
However, Spurs fought back, with Bethany England leveling the score in the dying moments of regular time, forcing the game into extra time.
The match took a sombre turn for Manchester City when their star striker and Women’s Super League top scorer, Khadija Bunny Shaw, was forced off the field due to a shoulder injury in the 70th minute.
