Maya Le Tissier denied Tottenham their first win over Manchester United with a stoppage-time equaliser, in a frenzied rehearsal for next month's FA Cup final.
Le Tissier, who signed a new contract this week, headed home from a packed goalmouth after Rachel Williams hit the crossbar.
After Melvin Mallard put United ahead at Leigh Sports Village, two goals in three minutes from Bethany England and Jessica Nass looked like Spurs had secured a decisive victory.
But the intervention of centre-back Le Tissier kept United's slim hopes of qualifying for the Champions League alive, with third-placed Arsenal set to face Leicester later on Sunday afternoon.
If the Gunners win, they will secure a top-three finish.
England equalized after Mallard headed in Gemma Evans' deep free-kick to put United ahead, but it's debated whether he actually got the decisive touch with Drew Spence's shot across goal. There was room for.
However, there was no doubting Nas' attacking ability as she cut inside the defender and beat Mary Earps.
Tottenham manager Robert Villahamn saw his team come under pressure en masse from United after the break, but goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer caused little trouble until the final seconds.
England's goalkeeper Earps was about to take a corner kick, but Le Tissier pushed it in to score a point.
