Bethany England celebrates scoring for TottenhamBethany England has now scored eight goals since joining Tottenham in January

Bethany England rescued a crucial point for relegation-threatened Tottenham against fellow Women's Super League strugglers Brighton.

Elisabeth Terland gave the visitors the lead after only ten minutes but England levelled soon after.

Brighton seemed on course for three points after Lee Geum-min tucked a long-range shot past Rebecca Spencer.

But England was on hand once again to power an effort past Lydia Williams and salvage a draw.

England, who joined Spurs in January from Chelsea, has already scored eight goals for the north London side.

They now hold a three-point advantage over bottom-placed Reading.

Brighton, meanwhile, are only two clear of the relegation zone.
