That's all from us

Thanks for tuning in to our live coverage on another hectic day of Women's Super League action.

Seven goals in the second half (and a hat-trick) for Tottenham. A stoppage-time winner for Everton and a smash-and-grab point for Aston Villa.

That's all for this live text.

We'll be back on Tuesday when the Women's Champions League's league phase begins with Manchester City and Arsenal both in action. Chelsea then play on Wednesday.

'I'm just happy to come in, score three goals and help the team'

FT: Crystal Palace 0-7 Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham's Olivia Holdt speaking after her hat-trick: "I’m very happy, very pleased. As you said it was my first start this season so I'm just happy to come in, score three goals and help the team to get the win."

On playing against ten for the majority of the game: "I was thinking when they got the red card, this could actually be tougher for us because then they could go down in a really low block and just defend but as the game kept going and we created more and more chances and came in at half time and got together and talked [about] our plan... when the first goal came then it was nice."

On her celebration for the first goal [shushing]: "I like to celebrate my goals. I saw the Crystal Palace fans and I like to have a bit of fun and then I thought why not."

On competition for places in the squad: "Competition is healthy and it'll only make the team better and compete every week. I think today Vic [Victoria Pelova] got her first start as well scoring two goals so I think the competition is really healthy and will help us get a really good season."
