VIDEO: Horrific for Hannah Hampton! Chelsea goalkeeper stunned by referee's decision as Tottenham equalise in WSL clash

With Chelsea one goal to the good thanks to Maika Hamano's opener, Nilden floated a cross into the box that caught out stopper Hampton in the 21st minute. The England international tried to palm the ball to safety but it was adjudged to have gone over the line and the goal stood. The keeper and her team-mates vehemently protested the decision but with no VAR in the Women's Super League, the goal could not be overturned.

With Chelsea winning last season's WSL on goal difference ahead of Manchester City, the finest of margins can determine who wins the title. In the end, this didn't matter a great deal as the Blues went onto win the game 5-2. But calls may increase to get VAR into the WSL after incidents like this.

After this match, WSL teams will break for the international break over the next fortnight. Sonia Bompastor's Chelsea then return to league action away to Everton on November 3 whereas Tottenham host London rivals West Ham on the same day.
