Half an hour had gone when Ryah Vyse converted a right wing cross at the far post and the lead had been preserved by a fine save by Ebony Caben-Gooden from a header by a Gills striker. 

While the visitors had a number of shots in the second half, there were few worrying moments for Tottenham.  Three minutes from time, Sam Pituck hit a shot that the Gillingham keeper kept out, but Kirsten Thomson was alive to the rebound and hit the net to inflict only the second defeat on the Kent side this season and secure at least a fourth place finish for the Ladies.

The strong defence and hard working midfield restricted the team from Milton Keynes to few chances and Ebony Cabey-Gooden was only brought into action on a couple of occasions. 

At the other end, Vanessa Storey, on as a replacement for ankle injury victim Jenna Schillaci, put Tottenham ahead with a tap-in after Sam Pituck had robbed a defender of the ball and slipped the ball across the six yard box to set up an easy opportunity. 

Into the second half, Storey had another goal ruled out for offside, before Pituck rolled home a penalty awarded for a handball in the box.  With Spurs now controlling the tempo, a fine cross by winger Emma Kayser was headed home at the far post by Storey to hand Spurs three points that sees them unbeaten in the league since mid-October.
