Point gained for Women Under-19s despite shootout defeat at Southampton - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Having fallen behind inside the opening minute on the south coast, we fought back and found an equaliser just after the half hour mark, Rania Oukriss netting her second goal in as many games in the league to put us on level terms as we headed in the break.

We were more controlled in the second half in what was an evenly battled contest with the Saints, but we just lacked conviction in the final third as we settled for a point in normal time before a penalty shootout followed to determine the bonus point.

Oukriss and Eloise Summers-Mee were denied in our first two spot-kicks while the Saints calmly converted and, although Grace Bellwood scored our third penalty of the afternoon, the home side were clinical from 12 yards out and won the shootout 4-1 to claim the extra point.

Spurs 0-0 Man Utd, Women's Super League | Martin Ho's verdict - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Having enjoyed 58% of possession throughout the game in N17, we registered 22 shots on target, five of those on target and doubled the amount of touches (42) in the opposition box compared to United’s, we just couldn’t find the breakthrough on the day but the point in the Women’s Super League brought an end of four straight defeats in all competitions.

There will obviously be disappointment to not leave north London with two extra points, especially with the opportunities we created, Lenna Gunning-Williams and Ella Morris going the closet in the second half.

While, at the other end, it was our first clean sheet since January 11, 2026 – a 1-0 win over Leicester City at Brisbane Road – after a superb performance from our shot stopper Lize Kop when called upon.

“I thought we were very good," Martin told us, speaking to SPURSPLAY after the game. "I couldn't have asked any more as they've pushed a really good side today. In the first half and second, we had some big chances and it just won't go in, but we have to look a lot of the progressive play, a lot of really good attitude and mentality - a really good performance. We've pushed them all away but it just didn’t want to go in.

“We've built off the performance against Chelsea; I think we were very good in that game. Now, we've come into this game with the same mentality, same confidence and wanting to really put things right. We've been asked a lot of questions, naturally, which we accept as a team and I think we responded well.

“Defensively, I thought we were very good and offensively, I thought we were very good also. There's some very good individual performances within that, but you just want one of those chances to go in and that maybe we win the game at that point.”

Asked about the strong defensive performance from his backline and goalkeeper Lize, he added: “We don't go out into any game to want to concede goals or want to concede so many. We go in with the mentality of making sure we keep a clean sheet and we defend the box well.

“I thought we'd done that very well today. I thought we limited them to some really small chances, not clear cuts, and then we put ourselves in a position to push the game. I thought if one team were going to win, it was probably going to be us.”

We enjoyed several spells in the ascendancy over the course of the game but just couldn’t find that final, decisive final ball, Ella Morris, Matilda Vinberg, Julie Blakstad and Drew Spence all going close, while Lize Kop was superb at the other end, making smart saves when required and bravely coming for a number of deliveries into our box.

Ultimately, the 0-0 draw yielded our first clean sheet since January and ended a run of four straight defeats in all competitions for Martin Ho’s side.

Kinsky your Player of the Match after win at Wolves - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Making his third successive league start, all under Head Coach Roberto De Zerbi, the Czech shot stopper continued his fine form between the sticks.

Having endured mixed fortunes before the arrival of the Italian this term, first appearing and keeping a clean sheet in September's League Cup win over Doncaster Rovers before he returned to the side in March for our trip to Atletico Madrid in March, his recent run in the side - and the impressive performances he has produced - has been just tremendous to see.

While he hasn't had too much to do with his hands since coming into the side - he has made just four saves across his three outings - his ability on the ball plus his command of his area has been impressive.

Enjoying a 77 per cent pass success rate - the highest we've seen since Guglielmo Vicario recorded 78 per cent against Newcastle United in February - plus showing impressive reactions to push the ball away from danger, most notably as Adam Armstrong bore down on goal late on at Molineux, the arrival from Slavia Prague last January enjoyed a fine afternoon in the West Midlands.

Add to that his stunning save to deny Joao Gomes from a free-kick in the final seconds of the game - which match-winner Joao Palhinha described as just as important as his goal in the win - the Czech goalkeeper is really finding his feet in the Premier League.

Picking up his second clean sheet in the competition with that stunning save, his efforts have seen him named your Player of the Match for the win at Wolves, taking the most votes in an exclusive poll ran on tottenhamhotspur.com and the our official app.

Taking 67 per cent of the vote, Toni edged out substitutes Joao Palhinha (15 per cent) and Mathys Tel (6 per cent) to take the crown for the second time in three games.
