Substitute Fridolina Rolfo scored a brace late on as Manchester United came from three goals down to draw 3-3 with Tottenham.

Fridolina Rolfo scored a brace in the last 10 minutes as Manchester United produced a stunning comeback to draw 3-3 with Tottenham, fighting back from three goals down.

Spurs took the lead towards the end of the first half as Beth England rose above the United defence inside the area and planted a header into the net following a cross from Olivia Holdt.

United went close to equalising straight away but Maya Le Tissier struck the woodwork, and Spurs would double their advantage in first-half stoppage time as Ashleigh Neville set up Evelina Summamen to score her second Women's Super League goal of the season.

The result looked beyond doubt when Spurs scored again on the hour mark, with Holdt providing once more for Martha Thomas.

But Ella Toone gave United hope with her first league goal since September, before substitute Rolfo cut the deficit even further with a finish from close range after Spurs missed a chance to clear inside their area.

Spurs were left desperately hanging on, but United would complete the comeback in injury time as the Swede produced the finishing touch at the far post to earn a point, following a fine cross from Leah Galton.

Data Debrief: United show strength in depth with thrilling comeback

Rolfo's brace from the bench highlighted the strength in depth that manager Mark Skinner has at his disposal, and United have now scored five goals via substitutes in the WSL this season, with only Arsenal having more (six).

Spurs were on the ropes in the final part of that match, and they have now conceded seven goals in the last 15 minutes of matches in the WSL this season, with no side conceding more.

Despite the spoils being shared, United were dominant for large parts of the match, with 34 shots to Spurs' five, along with an expected goals (xG) figure of 4.59 compared to just 0.78 for the north London outfit.
