Last week, Tottenham Hotspur Women earned their first win since January 2025 against West Ham, although they showed signs of the same difficulty scoring from open play that dominated the conversation last season. Today, playing against Everton at Goodison Park, they showed no such offensive frailty. Spurs got a well-worked goal from midfielder Olga Ahtinen and a spectacular long-range shot from new signing Tika Tandberg, and put in another defensively stout performance to stay unbeaten in WSL play.
It’s pretty noticeable how different Spurs look this season compared to last, with basically the same team. Having Kit Graham back from injury helps certainly, and the two new signings of Toko Koga and Tika Tandberg look extremely astute, but something has changed from this year and last, and a lot probably has to do with new manager Martin Ho.
Spurs are one of four teams that have maximum points from two games, along with Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea. Feels pretty good!
Here are my match reactions from today’s game at Goodison Park.
