Everton vs Spurs (WSL) | Our away record on Merseyside

Thu 11 September 2025, 16:30| Tottenham Hotspur
Following a home win on the opening day of the Barclays Women’s Super League campaign, we now travel to Everton for our first away trip on Sunday afternoon (2.30pm UK).
After being named their permanent home from 2025/26 and beyond, we will face the Toffees at Goodison Park for the first time in the WSL but will need to overcome an unwanted record on Merseyside.
The Toffees are unbeaten in each of their six previous WSL home games against us, although we have managed to draw three of the last four encounters, including last season’s 1-1 draw at Walton Hall Park on the final day of the season.
Despite our away record on Merseyside, we remain unbeaten in our last four WSL meetings with Everton (winning once and drawing three times) with both sides scoring in each contest in the last five league meetings.
Meanwhile, we do boast an excellent record in our first away game of a campaign, having only lost just once in our last four seasons (W2, D1).
Match stats
This will be Everton’s sixth WSL game played at Goodison Park but first as their new permanent home. The Toffees have won just one of their previous five matches at the venue (D2 L2), but it was their most recent in November last season in the Merseyside derby (1-0).
Everton’s 4-1 win over Liverpool on MD1 was only their third win on the opening weekend across their 13 WSL seasons (D2 L8), with the Toffees only previously winning each of their first two matches in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 campaigns.
We beat West Ham 1-0 thanks to a late penalty on MD1, only previously winning our opening two matches in a Women’s Super League campaign in 2021-22. Meanwhile, we have only lost our first away game in one of the last four WSL seasons (W2 D1), drawing 2-2 with Aston Villa last term.
Everton are unbeaten in each of their last three WSL games (W2 D1), last going four without loss between April and May 2024 (W2 D2) – the Toffees have also scored in each of their last five league games, last putting together a longer run in the Women’s Super League between February and October 2020 (seven in a row).
Martin Ho will be aiming to become the fifth English manager to win both of their first two games in the Women’s Super League and the third to do so without conceding after David Parker and Laura Harvey back in 2011. Ho has seen his side’s keep 12 clean sheets across their last 15 league games.
On MD1, Everton’s Ornella Vignola became only the second player in Women’s Super League history to score a hat-trick on their debut (also Kiko Seike last season), scoring with each of her three shots. The Spaniard could now become only the second player to net in each of her first two outings for Everton in the competition after Natasha Dowie in 2011.
Last weekend against West Ham, defender Toko Koga became the fourth player to attempt 90+ passes on their WSL debut after Abby Dahlkemper (122) and Rebecca Knaak (109) for Manchester City, and Chelsea’s Kadeisha Buchanan (95). She also became the first ever teenager to do so in any match in Women’s Super League history.
