New Leicester signing Ashleigh Neville endured a moment to forget and enjoyed a moment to remember on Sunday, as she made her Foxes debut against the side with whom she'd spent the past seven seasons.

A 40th minute own goal was an unfortunate moment in an otherwise excellent first Leicester appearance, but the guard of honour and the reception of the Tottenham Hotspur fans post-match will have made it a bittersweet day.

Leicester's 1-0 loss to Spurs showed promise of a team willing to create, but with no finishing touch to show for it. A contest between the new blood unfolded, with recently signed reinforcements on both sides testing their mettle.
