How Bethany England’s strike against Liverpool created WSL history - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

The Barclays Women’s Super League records keep reaching new heights for Bethany England after her second half strike in our 2-1 win over Liverpool on Sunday saw her create history once more.

After Toko Koga’s first goal for the Club cancelled out Beata Olsson’s early opener for the away side, our captain was on hand to fire us into the lead eight minutes after the break with a clinical finish from inside the box – and that strike saw her become the first player in the WSL to net 50 home goals in the competition.

Her goal against the Reds was her 11th goal at Brisbane Road since completing her move to north London in January, 2023 – netting 17 home goals in total for us, including six at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This is just one of two records Bethany has claimed in the WSL this year as in March, 2025, she also took the record by becoming the first player to score 25+ goals for two different teams in England's top flight division.

That result against the Merseyside club also maintained our positive start in the WSL as we claimed our fifth win in seven games in the competition – already matching our tally from entirety of last season.

Spurs 2-1 Liverpool | Martin Ho’s verdict - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Martin Ho praised the mentality of his squad to fight back to secure a 2-1 win over Liverpool and return to winning ways in the Barclays Women’s Super League on Sunday.

Beata Olsson fired the away side into a lead on 11 minutes at Brisbane Road but we responded well to the early deficit and, eight minutes later, Toko Koga was in the right place at the right time to convert her first goal for the Club.

We completed the comeback eight minutes into the second period after a clinical finish from Bethany England gave us the advantage and following a professional display from that point onwards to hold on to the lead, we claimed our fifth win of the campaign – already matching our tally from entirety of last season - and climbed back to fourth in the table.

Speaking to us after the game, Martin said: “After the international break, the players came back and we maybe had one or two days together to really prepare for the game, so I thought they did well.

“It’s probably going to be a little bit disconnected at first and there’s a little bit of apprehension in certain moments, but I think Liverpool’s first goal woke us up - even though it came in a way we didn’t want to happen. It livened us up and from that moment, we were very dominant.

“They had some moments, which we’ll need to look at, but for large spells of the game we were the dominant team.

“It’s important,” when asked about the response from going behind. “When you get a response like that, it’s a sign that the team’s mentality is changing - that they don’t want to be behind.

“It wakes them up, and you see a different energy and intensity. It came from a set play and Chris [Williams] works really hard on those, it’s important that we can score from those areas too. The build-up to Toko’s goal was brilliant.

“When we got the second goal, it was good play - a good ball from Olivia [Holdt] into Amanda [Nilden], who puts it across and it’s a great finish from Bethany. These are the moments we need more of. We need to put ourselves in positions where we can win games and we need to be ruthless with the chances we get. I think we did that today.”

Match report | Spurs Women 2-1 Liverpool Women - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Toko Koga and Bethany England were on target as we came from behind to defeat Liverpool 2-1 on Sunday afternoon to return to winning ways in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

Making her ninth consecutive start of the season, defender Koga was in the right place at the right time, following excellent work by Olivia Holdt, to net her first goal for the Club just eight minutes after Beata Olsson fired the away side into the lead at Brisbane Road.

In a game of few chances, we needed to make the most of our opportunities and Bethany England did just that seven minutes after the break, firing us into the lead with a clinical finish from inside the box after a low cross from Amanda Nilden – her first goal in the WSL since our opening day victory over West Ham United.

A professional display from then on saw us hold onto that lead and take all three points to secure our fifth win of the campaign - already matching our haul from the entirety of last season. The result also sees us leapfrog Arsenal and move into fourth.

Our captain was one of two changes to the side that faced Birmingham City last time out, with Drew Spence also returning to the starting XI, while Liverpool’s Head Coach Gareth Taylor switched it up with four changes – Faye Kirby, Risa Shimizu, Lily Woodham and Olsson all coming in – and the latter was influential in opening the scoring on 11 minutes after a strong start by the visitors. Grace Fisk’s low cross was not dealt with and Olsson was there to sweep the loose ball home from close range. Lize Kop was called into action shortly after the goal, getting down low to deny Ceri Holland from the edge of the box but, eight minutes later, we were back on level terms in the contest.

A corner-kick routine saw Eveliina Summanen play a low ball to Holdt on the edge of the box, she advanced to the byline on the right inside the box before lifting the ball over goalkeeper Kirby and Koga was there on the line to tap home from point-blank range. Hold started to pull the strings in midfield after our leveller as she teed up Spence inside the box but her first time curling effort went over while, at the other end, the Reds remained a threat when Olsson fired wide from a tight angle. However, in the fifth minute of injury time, Liverpool’s stopper Kirby had to be alert to dive to her right to push Spence’s header around the post after the midfielder connected to Amanda Nilden’s cross from the left.

We looked for a quick start after the restart and seven minutes into the second period, we completed the turnaround in the game to take the lead. Holdt started the move with a lovely ball out wide to Nilden who then sent a low cross from the left side of the box to England in the centre and our captain made no mistake, calmly slotting away into the top corner for her second goal of the season. Holdt fired a first time volley from the edge of the box straight into the hands of Kirby before Clare Hunt’s lofted effort from Nilden’s corner on the right landed on top of the netting as we dominated the proceedings after our goal but we were just unable to extend our advantage before entering the final stages of the encounter.

Many would assume that would create a nervy end to the contest, which saw a stoppage time of around 20 minutes after Mia Enderby was stretchered off with a neck injury, but in truth, we were rarely threaten by the visitors. Although Cornelia Kapocs went close with an effort from the left of the box in the 17th-minute of stoppage time, we held on to return to winning ways in the WSL and make it 15 points in seven league games, lifting us back above Arsenal who won earlier in the day.

Spurs 0-1 Chelsea | Every word of Thomas Frank's post-match press conference - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Thomas Frank spoke to the media after our 1-0 home loss against Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.

Here's what he had to say...

Can you understand the frustration at the end?

Thomas: "Yes, 100 per cent. We all sense the frustration and the emotions. That's part of football. It is extremely painful and of course that is part of the job to face you guys now and answer the very good questions when you just are burning inside and you like to find solutions, watch the game back and see what went wrong, all that, but I think it’s about trying to stay calm. In general, I think Chelsea were good. We were definitely second best. We performed badly. I think we lacked energy and intensity and that freshness, we didn’t have that. Then I think the high pressure they came with, I don’t think we solved it well enough even though we worked on it, so that we need to keep working on. I think our high pressure, we lacked a little bit in the beginning until we got on top of it and then they went up 1-0 and we are chasing. Then it’s a bad circle where we are chasing, lacking intensity and energy and bad decisions."

What can you say about Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence just after the final whistle?

Thomas: "All the players are of course frustrated. They would like to do well, they would like to win, they would like to perform well, so I understand that. I think it is about which is difficult to be consistent in good times and in bad times. That is why I went around to the fans as I did. It is more fun when we win, I can tell you that."

Is that acceptable?

Thomas: "I understand why you ask the question, but I think that is one of the small issues. We have Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence who are doing everything they can. They perform very well so far this season and everyone is frustrated. We do things in a different way, so I don’t think it is a big problem."

The XG was 0.05 today - does that sum up your attacking threat?

Thomas: "I would say that, of course, hurts massively. I've never been in charge of a team that created that little in one game, never. So that, of course, I will look into what we can do to make it better. But I think that's one thing. I think everything is a little bit linked. And today, yeah, we didn't hit the level."

What happened with Lucas Bergvall?

Thomas: "That was a concussion. So he was told he couldn't stay on and I think the medical team did a good job in that aspect. Even if he wanted to stay on, it's the right decision that he stays off."

How much did that disrupt your game plan?

Thomas: "We would have loved to have him continue. That's why we picked him in the starting XI. Unfortunately, that couldn't happen. So others will step in. Xavi knew the game plan."

Are you worried about Xavi Simons' confidence?

"No, I think it's part of it. There's a reason why we didn't start him, of course. I think he's played two starts, short turn around. Also, that energy and freshness I talked about, played 90 minutes on Wednesday night. That's why we decided that, and then he played 70 minutes here. That was nothing. It's just because it looks different when you come on after three minutes and get subbed off."

How can a Tottenham team that's losing to Chelsea not have a shot at all in the second half? How can that happen in a game of this magnitude?

Thomas: "Good question. There's probably not one answer to that. One thing for sure, we need to do that better."

Can you see the team evolving attacking-wise?

Thomas: "I think the thing is that all games are a little bit different. I think there was signs of it against Everton away, against Villa home, against Newcastle away. Today there's not too much signs of it."

Xavi Simons has had a few careless passes in the games he's played so far. It feels like something that should be relatively easy to correct in a player's technical ability. How frustrating is that?

Thomas: "I think when players make mistakes on the pitch, if they lose a ball or they miss a pass, of course I can get irritated. In general, I'm not talking about a specific situation. That's part of football. How many times have you seen a player miss a pass or do something? That happens. And that can be flow, that can be confidence, that can be everything, whatever it is. Mistakes are part of football."

What can you say to fans to give them confidence that the team can be more creative?

Thomas: "A couple of things. Today of course everyone will be frustrated. I'd say we have 24 hours and then we need to look forward again. Today was one snapshot that didn't look good. I think there have definitely been other spells that have been better. There's no doubt, and I keep saying it, that we have a front four that is new that we need to build together with short turn arounds in games. We'll do that. I'm not in doubt that will happen. I think every team I've coached has scored a lot of goals. It will happen again in the future here."

Spurs 0-1 Chelsea | Thomas Frank’s verdict - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Speaking to us afterwards, Thomas reflected: “First and foremost, I think Chelsea performed very well. We were the second-best team today. There's no two ways about that. It was bad performance. So, we’re frustrated about that in a London derby against Chelsea, a game that means the world to the fans, we're very irritated about it.

“I think we lacked the energy and intensity. We couldn't match, for whatever reason, Chelsea on the day. I think that was part of it. Then I think the way they solved their high pressure, the way we solved our high pressure, the two solutions, I think they got more in the game than us.”

Thomas was asked if losing Lucas Bergvall with a little over two minutes on the clock – the midfielder struck on the head by the ball – affected his plans. “Yeah, there was definitely something in that,” he said. “We wanted to keep the energy up against them, the pressing. So, that affected it a tiny bit, but if we get an injury, we need to be able to adapt to that.”

Also speaking to us afterwards, Vicario said we needed to be ‘braver’ on the ball. “We spoke about it, wanted to be brave, wanted to be good on the ball,” said Thomas. “I think that I need to look back on it. What I will say is that we definitely lacked some of the solutions to get out of the pressure and I think there were too many bad decisions.”

Thomas said there would be a tough period of reflection on Sunday. “I'll say this will be a tough 24 hours, no doubt about that. This is extremely painful, of course. I feel the supporters' pain. It's just burning inside my body because we need to find solutions, we need to find them quick.

“Again, I know it sounds crazy after a bad performance in a big derby, but it's never as bad or as good. We've had two, let's say, good performances against Everton and Newcastle, won one, lost one, then it was bad today. So, we need to get around it quickly because we need to be ready for Copenhagen (in the Champions League on Tuesday night).

“One big thing is how we react to it. So, it's how we bounce back. I think that's the key thing because you're going to have good games, bad games, but how do we react to it?”

Report | Spurs 0-1 Chelsea - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

We suffered our third home Premier League defeat of the season on Saturday afternoon as Chelsea took the derby soils with a 1-0 win.

On what was another disappointing day at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Blues capitalised on a defensive error to score the only goal of the game in the first half as Joao Pedro fired home in the 34th minute.

We struggled to respond throughout the contest, managing just the one effort on target while Guglielmo Vicario made a string of good saves to prevent a heavier defeat, although we maintain our third position in the table ahead of the remainder of the weekend’s matches.

We were dealt an early blow when Lucas Bergvall was struck on the side of the head by the ball and was clearly in some discomfort, leading to his substitution after just seven minutes, with Xavi Simons coming on in his place. As the game settled down it was the visitors who started the brighter, Reece James high and wide with a shot from distance before Alejandro Garnacho had the first genuine effort of the game, but his shot was saved low down by Vicario.

We forced a couple of corners as we started to grow into the contest although both were dealt with by the Blues before two chances in quick succession. First, Pedro Porro tried to play a ball forward which cannoned off Garnacho straight to Joao Pedro in on goal down the left but Vicario was quickly off his line to block the shot. We then went straight up the other end, Mohammed Kudus cutting inside before rifling a shot which flew just over the bar.

Moments later though, the visitors were ahead. It wasn’t a great goal to concede as first Djed Spence and then Micky van de Ven were caught in possession, the second occasion proving crucial as Moses Caicedo stole the ball from our skipper on the edge of the box and touched it square for Joao Pedro to slot home. It was almost 2-0 in the 43rd minute after Chelsea worked it down their right, Malo Gusto delivering a cut-back from the byline which Joao Pedro met with a half-volley, only to see Vicario push it up and over with a smart save. Our best chance of the half came right at the end of six minutes of stoppage time, as Randal Kolo Muani laid off to Pape Matar Sarr and his pass to Kudus was hit first-time by the winger, forcing Robert Sanchez into a save diving to his right.

The second period opened up with a flurry of chances at either end. Enzo Fernandez drilled a low effort which Vicario saved comfortably before a Kevin Danso long throw into the Chelsea box fell to Rodrigo Bentancur but he couldn’t get a telling touch. Fernandez then headed over from six yards out from a James cross and Vicario saved a Pedro Neto curler.

While it remained 1-0, we were always in the game and started to enjoy more possession, particularly in attacking areas, even if we weren’t really troubling Sanchez in the Chelsea goal. But we always had to be mindful at the back and Vicario had to make a good save from Neto before James hit another long-ranger just over the bar. Going into the closing stages, we were working hard to make something happen in front of goal but it was mostly corners that were providing the opportunities and, even then, Sanchez was able to come and gather most of them to prevent any danger.

Instead, it was the visitors with two glorious chances to double their lead in stoppage time, Jamie Gittens somehow blasting over the bar when it was easier to score before they were in on goal again, Joao Pedro with only Vicario to beat but our Italy international goalkeeper pulled off an excellent save to deny him. Ultimately though, it didn’t matter as the one goal was enough for Chelsea to pick up their sixth win in seven Premier League games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
