Tottenham Women 2-1 Leicester Women (AET): Thomas sends Spurs into FA Cup final
Martha Thomas came off the bench to score an extra-time winner to send Tottenham into their first Women's FA Cup final, leaving Leicester heartbroken.
Tottenham were made to work for their spot at Wembley on May 18, as Leicester took the lead thanks to Jutta Rantala's stunning solo strike, silencing the 18,078 supporters at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Foxes, still managerless after the sacking of Willie Kirk due to a breach of the team's code of conduct, thought they had the final spot but Josie Green's error allowed Jessica Naz to score with eight minutes of normal time remaining to the delight of the home crowd.
Leicester struck the crossbar in the first half of extra-time through Rantala, but Spurs' substitute striker Thomas popped up with a looping header for the winner with the match moments from penalties.
Tottenham will face either Manchester United or Chelsea in the Wembley final on May 12.
