Matilda Vinberg: “I’m very happy, it has been a while” - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Matilda Vinberg certainly made her mark on her return to the starting XI as her impressive strike helped us to a 2-1 win over West Ham United on Sunday.

Back on the right-hand side from the first minute at Chigwell Construction Stadium, the young forward put in a strong performance in the London derby and, nine minutes into the second period, she duly got the reward she deserved.

Trailing 1-0 after Shekiera Martinez’s early goal, Tilly cut inside on to her left on the edge of the box and picked out the top right corner with a stunning left-footed strike, leaving the Hammers’ shot stopper Megan Walsh no chance.

That switched the momentum into our favour and, on 73 minutes, Olivia Holdt grabbed the winner with another excellent finish from distance, seeing us return to winning ways in the WSL.

Netting her first goal in the WSL since March, 2024 – her third goal in total in Lilywhite – our number 13 spoke of the ‘nice feeling’ to get on the scoresheet.

“It’s a great goal,” she smiled, speaking to SPURSPLAY after the game. “I’m very happy to score as it’s been a while, and to score in that kind of way was also really nice.

“When I play on the right side, I think it’s really important that I can go inside and take those shots and take those chances. It was such a nice feeling - such a relief - to score for this club. It’s been a while.

“It’s high competition right now in the front four positions and to stay in the starting XI it’s really important to be consistent, but also to get those [three] points. Whether that’s a goal or an assist, I think it’s important to show that.”

Reflecting on the performance, Tilly added: “I think the first ten minutes we were on them. Unfortunately, they had one counterattack and scored from it. But, at half-time, we said we had the momentum, we had the possession - we just hadn’t really got into the final third with shots on target.

“So, we wanted to make sure we did that more in the second half, and I think that’s exactly what we did - turned it over and scored two good goals. You can definitely say two good goals.”

With a London derby against Chelsea at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next, the Sweden international spoke of her excitement to be going back to N17. “It’s going to be a great atmosphere.

To play at the stadium, such an amazing stadium, we want to show ourselves in front of the fans - what kind of team we are this season. We’re competing at the top and we want to put on a great show next week.”

Join us in N17

Spurs 2-2 Man City | Every word of Thomas Frank's post-match press conference - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Thomas Frank spoke to the media at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after our 2-2 draw against Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

Here's what he had to say...

Can you talk about Dominic Solanke's goals and performance, also, he said he rolled his ankle - is it okay?

Thomas: "The last bit I don't know, but he clearly also struggled to run, so we knew - struggled to run fitness-wise - before the game again it would be a big push to play 90. He's not there fitness-wise where he should be, because he's been out for so long. We've been, in a way, a little bit forced to play him. I think it's pretty evident that he's relatively important for us - four goals in four games, with him being on his 70-80% of fitness and top sharpness. Imagine City playing without Haaland for six months. We've been quite hard hit with injuries, in general, but Dom was excellent."

What did you make of his two goals, the first maybe a bit controversial, and the second one spectacular?

Thomas: "First one, I think there's clear contact from him on it. We want, in general, a higher threshold. I understand it's in the grey area. I think if the Liverpool goal, Ekitike, in my opinion still, two clear hands in the back of Romeo. So, I think it's no grey areas. I'm very happy it finally dropped to us, which I think was more than fair. The second one was something we, of course, trained yesterday, so it went well!"

Why did Cristian Romero come off at half-time?

Thomas: "Illness. We are assessing him. Hopefully he's fine."

On Romero - has he been ill before this game, or did he struggle at Frankfurt as well?

Thomas: "He struggled for the Frankfurt game as well and pushed through that with a fantastic captain's performance. He struggled a little bit, but we hope it's nothing."

What did you like most about the second half?

Thomas: "I'm extremely happy that we finally got a point out of a big second half. It felt like a big point, of course, because we're playing against the best team in the Premier League in the last seven years, eight years. They're playing to compete for the title. I said it before, this team's ability to respond to setbacks and show resilience, I think we are growing it bit by bit. Now it's game 11 since Nottingham Forest, where I think we are showing more consistency, we are more competitive, it's just going in the right direction. Not all the results have gone with us, but, for example, I think it's been some good, top performances and mentality against Bournemouth, West Ham and Villa, we just didn't get at least a point or something out of it. So now we get the point as well, on top of a good performance against Dortmund, more good than bad against Burnley - I know it looks bad because we only get a point, but a game we could and should easily have won with the chances we created, and a big performance against Frankfurt. We are building some of that and we are, by the way, building it with, I don't know, players dropping left, right and centre to injury. We're ending a game without three normal centre-backs, two normal full-backs. We play Archie and Joao in the back four. Dragusin played his first game in 12 months, Jun'ai is coming on as the right midfielder. I think that shows everything about the team and what they are building. The players... very proud of the players."

Tomorrow (Monday) is the final day of the transfer window - do you expect to be active?

Thomas: "We are active, no doubt about that. If something happens, let’s see. Romero, I hope is minor, nothing. Micky we hope is back for Man United and Djed is hopefully not too long."

Such an impressive second half performance - why can you not play like that from kick-off?

Thomas: "I wish I could do it like that. Then it would be easy. It’s not. I need to look at the game back. I think we did still some okay things in the first half and just made two mistakes. They punished the first one so hard after 12 minutes which makes things more difficult to come into a football game, but what I liked of the second half is we were even more aggressive in the high pressure and finally the 50-50s landed a little bit more for us. It felt like everything landed for them in the first half. Middle pressure was good, so not too much through us, and then we played more behind them and hurt them more in that way. How united the fans and the players were second half. That’s what we need to build. The fans helped us massively and pushed us towards a big point and they were fantastic against Dortmund so if can we do that more and more consistently together we can create some magic."

Fans love to see the team on the front foot - some may worry we only see this version of Spurs when they are chasing a game...

Thomas: "I think it’s fair to say that we tried to be front footed in the first half as well but we just didn’t land in all the high pressure situations. We didn’t win them and we were playing against City who are pretty good at keeping the ball. I think we showed a lot of intention in the first half but just didn’t land on it."

Xavi has been great in recent weeks - was that his best performance?

Thomas: "Xavi was exceptional today. He's a very good footballer, but he's probably an even bigger winner and fighter. So, the way he fights with the team is exceptional, and how he's part of driving the team forward I think is very impressive."

Talking of Xavi, Wirtz (Liverpool) also came in from Germany and has taken a while, do you think for players of that quality it still takes time to get used to the physicality and get up to speed in the Premier League?

Thomas: "I think it's fair to say that the Premier League is the best league in the world. It's also the most physical, not only in the duels, but physical in the pace of the game. It's so quick. To adapt to that takes a little bit of time. Then I think some players, for whatever reason, just adapt a little bit quicker. For whatever reason, if they're coming into a team that's in flow, they may adapt a little bit quicker. There can be a lot of things. It's humans we're dealing with. The most important thing is their intentions and their work ethic and all that. Then it will be step by step - Xavi has taken some big steps, especially in recent weeks."

Injury update | Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Thomas Frank provided an injury update on defensive trio Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence on Sunday.

All three unfortunately missed our 2-2 draw with Manchester City on Sunday and Thomas explained the reasons why in an exclusive chat with SPURSPLAY ahead of the game.

He revealed that Micky, who was also absent from our midweek win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, was unlucky not to feature in the draw with City but expects the centre back to return next Saturday as we travel to Manchester United in the Premier League.

He could not be as certain on the situation of Kevin though. He reported that the defender had 'snapped' a ligament in his big toe having hyper-extended in the midweek victory in Frankfurt and thus missed the clash with City. The Austria international will now be assessed this week to determine the extent of the injury.

Djed meanwhile has picked up a calf injury so was unavailable to take on the Citizens. Our Head Coach is hopeful the full-back won't be out for too long.

Thomas Frank said, "Micky is a minor one. I fully expect him to be available for Man United, he just couldn't make it for this game unfortunately.

"Kevin, another, I think quite unlucky one. He hyper-extended his big toe when he landed on the foot of an opponent against Frankfurt, that means the ligament snapped in the big toe. It's extremely unlucky, we don't know the length of it but we have an appointment next week where we can clarify that and Djed has a minor calf injury. I hope Djed is not too long (out)."

Spurs 2-2 Man City, Premier League | Thomas Frank’s verdict - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Thomas Frank described our second half performance as ‘one moment at a time, one minute at a time’ as we came back from 2-0 down to secure a 2-2 draw against Manchester City on Sunday.

City took the initiative in the first half of the Premier League encounter at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with goals from Rayan Cherki (11 minutes) and Antoine Semenyo (44) handing Pep Guardiola’s team a 2-0 lead at half-time.

As Xavi Simons’ influence increased, the tide started to turn on 53 minutes when Dominic Solanke managed to poke the ball home after a tangle with Marc Guehi.

The best was to follow, however, as Solanke delivered one of the best goals seen in the stadium.

Conor Gallagher made a 50-50 challenge his and delivered a cross that the striker connected with a ‘scorpion kick’ from behind him, the ball looping over Gianluigi Donnarumma and home. Donnarumma then denied Wilson Odobert and tipped over a Xavi special as we pushed for a winner.

Speaking to us afterwards, Thomas reflected: “I’m very proud of the players, the character and mentality they showed, especially in the second half. I think that was hugely impressive.

“Of course, we are 2-0 down to City, who are in a good place, the best team in the Premier League the last seven, eight years, but the way the players kept going in the second half, kept having the belief… we were a bit better in the high pressure, we adjusted that second half. The middle pressure was also better, so they couldn't get anyone through, and we played a little bit more behind them.

“We just showed a bit more personality. That character and mentality… I'm so happy that the players finally got something out of it, because I just think we showed that second half against West Ham, second half against Villa, second half against Bournemouth, and lost all three. We should have got more out of them. Now we've got results on top of that to build on three other good performances. We’ve built on something that's hugely important.

“I think it (the comeback) shows everything for the players. The fans should be so proud of the players, what a shift they showed today. Now we've got something out of it, something to build on - and we need to carry on.”

Update | Cristian Romero - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Thomas Frank reported that Cristian Romero was forced off through illness in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Manchester City.

The defender had struggled through Wednesday's victory in Frankfurt with illness, but battled on to complete the full 90 minutes as we booked our place in the Champions League round of 16 with a 2-0 win over Eintracht - his 150th game for the Club.

Still under the weather come today's meeting with the Citizens, the centre-back led us out and played the first 45 minutes before having to be substituted for Pape Matar Sarr at the break.

Thomas Frank was later asked about the reasoning behind the decision to take Cuti off at half-time in his post-match press conference.

"(It was because of) illness. So we are assessing him. Hopefully he is fine," Thomas said.

"He struggled through the Frankfurt game as well but he pushed through that with a fantastic captain's performance. He struggled a little bit (today) but we hope it's nothing."

Superb Solanke secures gutsy point at home to City

Superb Solanke secures gutsy point at home to City - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Dominic Solanke scored a stunning acrobatic equaliser as we fought back to force a draw against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.

After a lacklustre first period in which Rayan Cherki had given Pep Guardiola’s side an early lead before Antoine Semenyo doubled their advantage just before the interval, it looked like City were heading towards a third straight Premier League win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

But it was a completely different story after the break as we took the game to the visitors, pulling one back when Solanke forced Marc Guehi into an own goal. The England international then produced a moment of pure magic, scoring for the third time in four games with a spectacular scorpion kick to level the scores and give us a vital point.

Team news saw Radu Dragusin come in for his first start for 372 days since a 2-1 home defeat to Leicester City in January, 2025, as we made four changes from the midweek win at Eintracht Frankfurt, alongside Yves Bissouma, Conor Gallagher and Solanke. Kevin Danso, Djed Spence, Pape Matar Sarr and Wilson Odobert made way.

City were on the front foot from the off and two minutes in, Semenyo had a side-footed effort which Guglielmo Vicario gathered at the second attempt. We had a good spell of possession after that, albeit without troubling Gianluigi Donnarumma and, instead, it was the visitors who took the lead on 11 minutes, Bernardo Silva dispossessing Bissouma to allow Erling Haaland to find Cherki and his clinical right-foot angled drive beat the dive of Vicario and hit the bottom corner.

Seven minutes later, Marc Guehi lifted a ball over the top for Haaland, who got the better of Dragusin but his attempted lob landed on the roof of the net. Shortly after, our first effort at goal saw a Xavi Simons 20-yard free-kick hit the wall before Donnarumma gathered, while Cherki went on a run down the inside right at the other end and hit a fierce drive which was heading for the top corner until the merest of touches from Vicario sent it wide, an excellent save even if a goal-kick was awarded!

Both sides were moving the ball well into the attacking areas of the pitch but that was where moves were breaking down as final passes were lacking or shots not being taken. Xavi had one such opportunity in the 36th minute but his effort was blocked. City’s second came three minutes before the break, Dragusin playing a ball out from the right-back position which was picked up by Rodri, he played forward to Bernardo who laid off to Semenyo and he produced a confident finish past Vicario. The half concluded with another Xavi free-kick, this one more central and this time he beat the wall but it was straight at Donnarumma.

We needed a quick response at the start of the second period and had an early opportunity when Destiny Udogie’s cross was cleared as far as Gallagher but he couldn’t keep his shot down from the edge of the area. An even better chance followed, a driving run down the right from Archie Gray ending with Xavi laying the ball off to Udogie in the area but his fierce drive was superbly tipped over by Donnarumma. It was a great start to the half and was rewarded with the goal, Xavi finding Solanke in the area and his hold-up play was excellent, shrugging off Abdukodir Khusanov and touching the ball goalwards, with it coming off Guehi and crossing the line to get us back in the game.

The goal changed the whole dynamic of the game and suddenly, having looked pretty deflated coming off at half-time, we were right in the contest. The players were up for the fight and the fans engaged again, even more so after our stunning equaliser. Gallagher did really well, winning the ball and driving down the right before sending over a cross which Solanke met with a back-flick scorpion kick that looped over Donnarumma and into the net.

City were rocked, we were rampant and they needed their Italian goalkeeper to prevent them from falling behind as he made two fantastic saves in quick succession. The first was with his legs to keep out Odobert’s deflected effort at the end of a rapid counter and the second was incredible, a diving one-handed tip over the bar from Xavi’s curling effort on 75 minutes.

The closing stages saw both teams with chances to win the game. An almighty goalmouth scramble ended with Haaland scooping the ball just over the bar from close range before Tijjani Reijnders headed into the side-netting. At the other end, Xavi won the ball back down the left and drove into the area, his low cross was prodded goalwards by Wilson Odobert but Donnarumma was there again to deny us.

At the start of nine minutes of stoppage time, there was a Premier League debut for Jun’ai Byfield who came on for the final stages after his two recent appearances in the Champions League, but there were no further goals and we settled for a point which had seemed a long way off at half-time.
