Gemma Evans scored a second-half equaliser to earn Bristol City a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in the Women's Super League.

Bottom of the 12-team table for most of the season, Bristol have recently been replaced by West Ham United in the only automatic relegation spot, and Evans struck in the 52nd minute to cancel out Siri Worm's third-minute free-kick for Spurs.

The result left Bristol second bottom on 10 points, the same number as 10th-placed Aston Villa and one ahead of West Ham.
