Grace Clinton scored twice and set up another goal to help Tottenham earn a 4-3 victory at West Ham in one of the best Women's Super League matches this season.

Spurs are now level on 18 points with Manchester United and Liverpool but only after being pegged back twice by the Hammers, who at one stage trailed 3-1 in a thriller at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.

Clinton's sixth-minute opener was cancelled out by Risa Shimizu although the Spurs midfielder set up Celin Bizet with a superb pass to restore their lead just before the break.

Clinton, on loan from Manchester United, then netted a controversial third just two minutes after the restart yet West Ham fought back once again with Viviane Asseyi and Amber Tysiak pulling the score level at 3-3.

However, it took just five minutes for Spurs to regain their advantage when substitute Jessica Naz fired into the bottom left corner from inside the box to take the points.

Clinton fired Spurs ahead from the edge of the box to spark a chaotic match played in stormy conditions. Spurs did not build on their early goal and defender Shimizu bundled in from close range to level.

But Clinton played the pass of the match two minutes before half time to send Bizet through and she finished calmly.
