Russell Cup: First Round
Regent’s Park Rangers 1,
Tottenham Hotspur 2
SPURS needed extra-time to overcome Regent’s Park Rangers in the opening round of the Russell Cup on Sunday. The Lilywhites had plenty of chances in the first-half but a strike from Natasha Ademakinwa was all that separated the sides at the break.
With just two minutes left on the clock, Spurs were made to pay the price for a host of missed chances when Rangers levelled from the penalty spot with their only real effort on target.
The game moved into extra-time, and with penalties looming a corner dropped to the feet of Shikiera Richards-Lake, who drilled home a late Tottenham winner.
