Jill Scott's winner saw Everton recover from losing a two-goal lead to beat Tottenham 3-2 in an exciting WSL clash.

Everton raced into a 2-0 lead inside 20 minutes as Valerie Gauvin scored two penalties after handball by Ria Percival and a foul by Abbie McManus.

Spurs' Angela Addison finished neatly after a nice through-ball before Gemma Davison equalised with a half-volley.

But Scott, who won her 150th England cap on Tuesday, headed in a corner from close range to seal Everton's win.

The victory - only a second in 10 games for Everton - sees the Toffees consolidate fifth place in the Women's Super League, while Spurs remain in eighth place.

Everton could have had the game won midway through the first half when Gauvin headed onto the roof of the net with a chance for 3-0.

After Spurs' comeback, Everton reasserted their control on the game as Izzy Christiansen hit the side-netting and Hayley Raso produced a good save from Aurora Mikalsen.

Spurs almost levelled 13 minutes from time when Shelina Zadorsky's glancing header from a cross after a short corner came off the outside of the post.
