Tottenham Hotspur

The Barclays Women’s Super League broadcast selection for matchday 15 has been confirmed, with our home fixture at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against Chelsea having its kick-off time changed for live television coverage.

The fixture will continue to take place on the day originally scheduled – Sunday 8 February – although it will now kick-off at a later time of 2.25pm UK.

It will be televised live on BBC Two.

This match is one of three upcoming games to be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – alongside our fixtures with Everton (15 March) and Manchester United (26 April).

Yves Bissouma's Mali were left to rue missed opportunities as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Zambia in their Africa Cup of Nations group stage opener on Monday afternoon.

Facing their first outing of the competition in Group A without captain Yves, Mali should have taken the lead three minutes before half-time as they were awarded a penalty. However, El Bilal Toure was unable to find a way past goalkeeper Willard Mwanzza from 12 yards with the goalkeeper producing the save.

They did find their way through Mwanza just after the hour mark with Lassine Sinayoko giving Mali a deserved lead after they had largely controlled proceedings. However, as they looked to see out the game in its latter stages, all their hard work was undone two minutes into stoppage time as a stunning diving header from Leicester City forward Patson Daka saw a share of the spoils in Casablanca.

Next up for Yves' Mali is the test of hosts Morocco in Rabat on Boxing Day (Friday 26th December) - 8pm kick-off (UK).

Guglielmo Vicario feels we can take the positives from our battling performance against Liverpool into forthcoming London derbies against Palace and Brentford over the Christmas and New Year period.

Down to 10 men after 33 minutes, then 2-0 down after 66, Richarlison’s response with seven minutes left injected a belief throughout Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that we could turn the game around.

We then lost Cuti Romero to a second yellow card, but our nine men pushed for an equaliser, and it was Allison making saves in added time, not Vic – the Liverpool goalkeeper twice denying Pedro Porro.

“I think we have to be very proud of ourselves, especially the way we handled it in the second half,” reflected Vic. “We showed great character, great effort and mentality to get back into the game.

“The feeling I think from everyone in the stadium was that we could have easily overturned this result, so we have to take home some good notes in terms of mentality and character and all these kinds of things.

“So, a lot of positives from this game - disappointment, of course, to have lost a game of football, but I think with a little bit more luck in some situations, we could have been now speaking about a different game and different result.”

Now the players are preparing for a derby double-header on the road – Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday (4.30pm UK) followed by Thomas Frank’s return to Brentford on Ney Year’s Day (8pm UK).

Vic added: “Now, we're going to have a long week in which we can push, we can train hard to get ready for Palace. We need to take the positives into the next match. It's some fuel that has to feed us. This is the most important bit.

“So, I think in terms of mood, of course, we are disappointed because of the result, but we know that we deserved more because we showed on the pitch and it was there. I'm sure that the fans have felt this inside the stadium. So, a lot of good things. Now, a big week ahead before we go to Palace away and we're going to be ready. “

Thomas Frank could feel the fans willing an equaliser as they got behind our 10 and then nine players battling back against Liverpool on Saturday.

Trailing 2-0 and down to 10 men from 33 minutes, Richarlison gave us hope by pulling a goal back on 83 minutes. Cuti Romero then joined Xavi Simons on a red card, but our nine men pushed to the end, Pedro Porro forcing two fine saves from Allison in the Liverpool goal.

“The fans were excellent throughout the game,” said Thomas. “They really pushed us forward, they gave an extra nudge, especially in the second half, and after the 2-1 goal it felt like they're almost trying to suck the ball into the net for the 2-2 equaliser which would have been a tremendous result.

“So, they did everything, it was a great effort and a great feeling to have with them. I think that was really something magic, between the fans and the players, I felt that collaboration, that cohesion, that was fantastic and we need to build on that and keep going with that.”

Thomas is now building towards a trip to Selhurst Park to face Palace on Sunday (4.30pm UK). “You could that even after the 30 minutes (against Liverpool) that we had three good days on the training pitch (last week), that was really beneficial and now we're going to have a good week going into Palace, so we're going to use that very well and then we're going to be ready for them.”

Man Utd Women vs Spurs Women | Key Highlights | 2025/26  Tottenham Hotspur

Fridolina Rolfo's late strike consigned us to a 2-1 defeat against Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Subway Women's League Cup on Sunday.

Just as in last week's Women's Super League encounter, we forged ahead at the Progress With Unity Stadium in Leigh, only to be pegged back by United. It means we bow out at the quarter-final stage for the fourth season on the trot.

Drew Spence struck a picturebook volley to open the scoring on 16 minutes but goals from Jess Park and Rolfo turned it around for the home side, who will now face Arsenal in the last four of the competition.

We were on the front foot straight away as Bethany England looped a header just wide from Matilda Vinberg's cross inside three minutes. United responded with Dominique Janssen firing just wide from 25 yards.

A super counter-attack prised United open on 13 minutes. England, Martha Thomas and Vinberg were all involved before Vinberg released Thomas, who in turn spotted Olivia Holdt sprinting to join the attack. Thomas picked out the pass - unfortunately, Phallon Tullis-Joyce made the one-on-one save with her legs.

It didn't take long for us to make the breakthrough. Three minutes after that break, Holdt's free-kick found England free at the far post, she headed back into the danger area, the ball was cleared to Spence who controlled and fired back a volley into the top corner, brilliant technique from the midfielder.

United's best spell came in five minutes after the half-hour mark. First up, Fridolina Rolfo's cross zipped across goal, then Julia Olme glanced a corner just wide. Superb defending kept the home side out from successive corners minutes later - Lize Kop saved point-blank from Olme, then Amanda Nilden got back on the line to head away Ella Toone's clever lob, destined for the net.

We swung momentum back our way - Thomas volleyed just wide before Eveliina Summanen's inswinging corner struck the foot of the post.

United started to get on top in the second half and Rolfo's dart down the left led to the equaliser on 51 minutes, her cross stroked home by Jess Park from 12 yards. Kop was at her best again to deny Janssen and Rolfo, twice, but United's Sweden international finally got the better of the goalkeeper with a clean strike from Melvine Malard's cross four minutes from time.

Spence struck another sweet volley as we searched for an equaliser, but this one went straight at Tullis-Joyce, who held on - as did the home side to progress to the last four.

Our final game of the calendar year sees us take on Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village in the quarter-final of the Subway Women's League Cup (kick-off 1pm UK).
