For the first half at least, it looked like Liverpool had every chance of claiming their first point of the season.
They started with a ferocity and by the 11th minute had already managed two shots on target, higher than their season average of 1.7 in the league.
They took a deserved lead and, even after the hosts levelled, Liverpool showed spirit and arguably had the better of the chances in the first half.
Olsson, who was a menace throughout, had numerous half-chances to net again but was denied by a mixture of poor finishing and great goalkeeping.
But once England struck early in the second half, there was only ever going to be one winner.
Spurs, who had not won in their past 14 WSL matches when conceding first, did not show any nerves.
Manager Martin Ho made three changes on the hour, highlighting the talent at his disposal, and it was one of those substitutes, Neville, who made a goal-saving challenge to deny Liverpool a point.
