WSL round-up: Tottenham dominate Crystal Palace while Liverpool held to a draw by Leicester in season opener

Crystal Palace, on their Women's Super League debut, were handed a harsh 4-0 defeat by Tottenham at Brisbane Road.

Fresh from her arrival from Real Madrid, Hayley Raso needed just 19 minutes to get on the scoresheet to give the hosts the lead at the break.

Jessica Naz, Drew Spence and Olga Ahtinen struck in the second half for Spurs.

Palace's difficult start to life in the WSL was compounded in the 94th minute as the visitors saw Brooke Aspin sent off for a second bookable offence.

Liverpool held by Leicester

Liverpool started life in their new home at St Helens Stadium with a 1-1 draw against Leicester.

But the Foxes - playing their first competitive match under new manager Amandine Miquel - equalised eight minutes after half-time when Jutta Rantala produced an exquisite finish.
