The already slender hope of Manchester City on a top three finish in the Super League for women suffered a blow when they were held home to a 1-1 draw by Everton.
City was unable to drop points against West Ham on the third placed Manchester United on Saturday, which means that Nick Cushing's side is seven points behind their rivals with three games of the season.
It started well for the hosts when they continued in the 13th minute through Kerstin Casparij, who stuck home from close by after the cross of Kerolin Nicoli gave Lily Murphy back through Lily Murphy.
Casparij celebrated by keeping a city shirt up with the name of Mary Fowler on it after the Australian became the newest WSL star who sustained a cruciate ligament injury.
But they were returned after 33 minutes when Karen Holmgaard walked home after identical twin sister Sara's Cross to the back post.
Tottenham 2-3 Aston Villa
Replacement Kirsty Hanson scored an injury-time winner to earn Aston Villa a dramatic 3-2 victory against Tottenham.
Spurs thought that after two goals in five minutes from Jessica Naz and Ella Morris, they helped them to fight back from two to the level of Jessica Naz and Ella Morris.
Indeed, the hosts looked the most likely winners on Brisbane Road, but instead it was Hanson, who also scored previous time -out against Liverpool, who found the late breakthrough.
Villa, who had led Patten Patten on her 26th birthday and ebben wooden salmon, now seems to be sure to earn another season in the WSL after moving seven points from the bottom Crystal Palace.
