Tottenham Hotspur

Practice certainly made perfect for Mo Kudus at Elland Road.

The forward told us after our 2-1 win against Leeds United that he’d been working on the finish that ultimately secured the three points after a typical Premier League battle in Yorkshire - Leeds’ first home loss in the league in over a year.

Mo read the situation perfectly as Pedro Porro’s pass bounced off Leeds left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson. He then instinctively drove towards the penalty area, dribbling right to left before unleashing the shot he’d been working on – back across goalkeeper Karl Darlow into the bottom right corner.

Mo took time out afterwards to run the rule over the goal with our social media team - above - and then told how the goal might just ‘open doors’ for more. “It feels really good to score,” he said. “It's something I've been working on for the past months. It feels really good to score my first goal. It’s opened doors for more to come.”

It was pointed out how he pounced on Gudmundsson’s touch. “Yes, sometimes it's not just winning the first pass, it's the reaction of the second ball. When I went inside, I thought short corner (shot to the near post) is something I've been practising. I'm glad that it went in.

“Today's game was less about tactics, it was about great determination and who wants it more. They were running, they were fighting for the ball and we knew that we needed to match that intensity. That’s what the game was about. I think everyone was on top for us to get a win.”

Mohammed Kudus's match-winner against Leeds on Saturday saw the number of different nationalities to score for us in the Premier League extend to 43.

Since the Premier League formed in 1992, 43 different nationalities have contributed to the 1,966 goals we have scored in the competition to date.

Born and raised in Ghana, Mo became the first Ghanaian to score for in the Premier League and the 11th from the continent of Africa.

He also became the 179th different goalscorer for us in the Premier League - a record for the competition.

Cathinka Tandberg has been named your HSBC Player of the Match after her goal proved to be the difference in our 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

Having already claimed the award this term following her impressive performance at Everton last month, ‘Tinka’ was once again on the scoresheet as she continued her fine goalscoring form in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

Making her fourth consecutive start in England’s top flight, the Norway international made it two goals in consecutive league games – taking her tally to a total of three in five matches in her first month at the Club.

Following a lovely build-up play down the left-hand side, a teasing low cross from Jess Naz found Tinka at the back post and she calmly slotted away to open the scoring just before the half hour mark at Brisbane Road.

That goal proved to be the match winner in the end as another resilient defensive performance in the second period saw us hold off the Seagulls to make it 12 points out of 15 in Head Coach Martin Ho’s tenure so far.

Afterwards, Thomas spoke of Mathys’ progression in recent weeks. “I'm so happy,” he said. “I got emotional almost after the game because he's a young man who has a strong character and trains well every day.

“Even though he hasn’t played as much, and then I play him as a striker - crazy thoughts by the Head Coach, because maybe he’s better to the left, he can also play there, of course… he’s not involved in the Champions League squad, he just came back.

“The way he scored against West Ham was solid, good. But that’s one game, then the next one, Doncaster, better, arriving in the right areas, yes, he didn't score, but the first thing is to arrive and the link up play, work hard. Then the third game, get the goal, great finish, I know the little deflection, but it’s a great connection, arriving in the right areas, working hard. I’m just so happy, all the praise.”

We are delighted to announce that we will host at least three Barclays Women’s Super League fixtures at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the 2025/26 campaign.

Following an impressive start to life under Martin Ho, claiming 12 points out of 15 in our opening five games of the WSL season, we are pleased to confirm that our home matches against Chelsea (8 February*), Everton (15 March*) and Manchester United (26 April*) will be played at our world-class stadium in N17.

North London derby at Brisbane Road

Yang-Min Hyeok has had a week to remember for Portsmouth.

On loan at the south coast side for the 2025/26 season, the forward scored his second goal in as many games on Saturday with him really beginning to find his feet at Fratton Park.

After a frustrating start to life with Pompey, the Korean has now started each of their last three league games, and he has gone on to find the back of the net in each of his last two.

Having bagged Pompey's opener in Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Watford, he then struck the winner on Saturday as the men in blue defeated league leaders Middlesbrough at their famous old ground.

Coming in very similar fashion to his strike against the Hornets, the 19-year-old volleyed home a cross from the right against Boro to see his their first win in five.

He played 78 minutes on his fifth appearance for the club before being replaced by Harvey Blair.

Under-21 regulars Luca Williams-Barnett and Rio Kyerematen have been nominated for September’s Premier League 2 Player of the Month award.

The midfield pair shone throughout last month as Wayne Burnett’s side continued their impressive start to the season, which currently sees them up in third, having won five of their six league fixtures so far.

Luca, who also made his first team debut in our recent Carabao Cup win over Doncaster Rovers, scored his first hat-trick at Under-21 level in a stunning 6-3 victory at Leicester City on 19 September, also providing an assist in that game.

Rio showed his versatility by operating as a false nine that night, and contributed two well-taken goals of his own.

He was back in his more familiar central midfield role in the 1-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion a week later, a match in which Luca supplied the corner from which Dane Scarlett set up Jun’ai Byfield for the game’s only goal.

The duo are on an eight-man shortlist for the award, which also includes Aaron Loupalo-Bi and Farhaan Ali-Wahid of Fulham, Joe Belmont of Brighton & Hove Albion, Andre Harriman-Annous of Arsenal, Tudor Mendel-Idowu of Ipswich Town and Romeo Akachukwu of Southampton.

The nominees have been selected by the Premier League Football Development Panel, who will also decide the winner.

Cathinka Tandberg hasn’t stopped smiling since joining Spurs last month – and she had no reason to stop after inspiring us to a 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

A summer arrival from Hammarby IF, ‘Tinka’ has certainly made an impact in her early days in the Barclays Women’s Super League and she was influential once again against the Seagulls, slotting home Jess Naz’s teasing cross on 26 minutes to finish off a lovely move at Brisbane Road.

That goal proved to be the match winner in the end as the Norway international’s fine start to life in England continues, taking her tally to three goals in five games while also being nominated for the WSL’s Player of the Month award for September.

“I told her I’m always on the back post, so just cross it and I’ll be there!” the striker beamed with a smile, reflecting on her all-important goal. “It was a very good cross and a very good goal.”

And Head Coach Martin Ho’s impressive start in the WSL also continues as the victory over Brighton now sees us climb to third in the current standings and just one point behind league leaders Chelsea at this stage – who we meet on Sunday at Kingsmeadow.

“It means a lot,” Tinka told us, reflecting on another three points in the league. “For us, for the Club. It’s three very important points and this gives us an extreme boost to keep working forward.

“I think you can see I’m loving it [at Spurs]. Of course, when I’m scoring goals, that’s what I’m here for. We’ve been training for that and when it fits in the game, it’s so important - for me as well. It’s so nice.”

Watch | Cathinka caps off lovely move

Four fine finishes made it five wins in six for our Under-21s in the Premier League 2 after a convincing 4-1 victory against Newcastle United on Sunday.

Luca Williams-Barnett impressed again with our first two goals, both clinical, to open the scoring on 20 minutes and then restore our advantage on 53 minutes after Cathal Heffernan's equaliser towards the end of the first half.

Dane Scarlett then pinged home a free-kick for 3-1 on 76 minutes and two minutes later, Tynan Thompson scored the goal he deserved after crashing the underside of the crossbar.

Wayne Burnett's team are now third in PL2 with leaders Manchester United up next at Leigh Sports Village on Friday 24 October (7pm).

We made a lightning start and were inches away from scoring with our first attack inside a minute. Yusuf Akhamrich broke centrally, slid in Tynan Thompson and his drive from the left angle rattled the underside of the crossbar.

Kacey Wooster had a couple of efforts on target without seriously testing Aaron Maguire before a dominant spell brought the opener on 20 minutes. The goal owed much to Rio Kyerematen's burst forward and Williams-Barnett did the rest - touch and finish, driving across Max Thompson into the far corner. Thompson denied namesake Tynan minutes later and the home goalkeeper got his angles right to block Kyerematen's one-on-one chance on 27 minutes.

Newcastle had rarely threatened but drew level on 38 minutes when Alfie Harrison's free-kick found Cathal Heffernan free at the far post and the centre-back planted his header back across Maguire and home. Moments later, the same free-kick combination set up another chance, this time Heffernan's header fell to Ross Finneran, his goalbound shot deflected wide.

The second half was one-way traffic in terms of chances created. Thompson did well to smother at Scarlett's feet in front of goal and then a pass intended for the striker ran into the path of Williams-Barnett, who needed no second invitation to pivot and curl home from 22 yards.

Kyerematen then struck the post from similar range and Thompson must have thought it wasn't going to be his day when he cut inside and rattled the underside of the crossbar for the second time.

Scarlett and Williams-Barnett combined again on 75 minutes, Scarlett bundled over this time a couple of yards outside the box, left of centre. He stood over the ball with Williams-Barnett, stepped up and struck a beauty over the wall and home for 3-1.

It was just left to Thompson to get the goal he deserved two minutes later. Williams-Barnett led the break and slid in Thompson, who this time chopped inside onto his right foot before lashing home from the edge of the box.

Wayne: "We deserved to win"

Speaking to us afterwards, Wayne Burnett said: "I thought we played some good football, got into some good positions, were a bit unfortunate, hit the crossbar, post as well, but we didn't quite make the final pass or final shot, especially in the first half. I thought we did that much better in the second half. We deserved to win. We looked threatening when we were attacking. We said at half-time we could get up behind the ball a bit better, we were leaving too many spaces and not putting pressure on them well enough and in the second half, we did that much better. As a result of that, we put pressure on them in their half, they struggled to get out and we managed to gain control. I'm so pleased for Dane, he's got such an appetite to play, his work ethic was excellent and I'm pleased he's getting into those positions and scored his goal."

Martin Ho was full of pride for his side’s performance to grind out another three points on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

Cathinka Tandberg capped off a fantastic move to slot home from close range to maintain her impressive start in England’s top flight since her move in the summer, netting her third goal in five WSL games. That goal proved to be the difference in the end to see us climb to third in the table, just one point off league leaders Chelsea at this stage.

Meanwhile, we put in another resolute defensive performance to hold off late pressure from the Seagulls to preserve our third clean sheet in the league – already beating last season’s total of two after the opening five games.

“Massive,” Martin told us, speaking to SPURSPLAY after the game. “I think it’s a big result. First half, I thought we were good with the ball and off the ball, with the pressure, I thought we were very good.

“Then, second half, we showed moments with the ball, but I thought we dropped a little bit too deep and we gave them too much space sometimes in the middle of the pitch. But, more importantly, the team’s done it again - they’ve grind out a really tough result, and I think we deserved it.

“We were on top [in the first half]. You have to take advantage and capitalise on that, I think we did. Jess put the ball in and Tinka finished it well, the whole move was good. It’s something we’d spoken about, so it was really nice to see it work and come off. As a team, I’m really proud of them.”

We limited the away side to just two shots on target throughout the 90 minutes – compared to our seven – and Martin wanted to praise the whole eleven, alongside the defence and goalkeeper Lize Kop, for nullifying Brighton’s opportunities.

“The backline and goalkeeper will always get the plaudits, but you defend from the front, and everyone was involved,” he added.

“A lot of the big pressure moments came when people were tired, but they still pushed past that line to stop Brighton progressing forward. Some of the blocks from Clare [Hunt], Toko [Koga], Amanda [Nilden] and Ash [Neville] - and Lize in goal - they were brilliant.

“I think Lize had only two shots to deal with on target all game. That’s what you want - nullify their chances, keep a clean sheet, and score at the other end.

“It builds confidence - not just in defence but across the whole group, that we can defend our box, be resilient and keep teams out. We’ll need more of that going through the season, but I couldn’t have asked for more. They’ve given me everything.”

“I demand a lot from them, especially off the ball - and they can probably see that passion from me on the touchline - but I couldn’t be prouder.”
