(Reuters) - Forward Kit Graham scored the only goal of the game as Tottenham Hotspur kicked off their Women's Super League campaign with a nervy 1-0 win over Birmingham City at home on Saturday.

Spurs started brightly but were repeatedly denied by a Birmingham side that offered little going forward but were stubborn in defence. The hosts finally broke the deadlock in the 40th minute with Graham scoring a glancing header from a move that was smartly worked around the edge of the box.
