“From start to finish, I thought we were good,” said Tottenham Hotspur manager Martin Ho after his team secured a crucial 2-1 victory against the London City Lionesses on May 3, 2026. This win not only clinched three points but also allowed Spurs to set a new record points tally of 33 points in the Women’s Super League.
The match took place at Brisbane Road, the home ground of the London City Lionesses. Spurs dominated early on with Signe Gaupset scoring the opening goal just 12 minutes into the game. Following that, Olivia Holdt extended their lead with a stunning shot from around 25 yards.
This context matters because Tottenham had recently experienced a goalless draw against Manchester United, leaving them eager to finish the season strong. The pressure was palpable, especially as this was their final away game of the season.
Despite a late surge from London City Lionesses, who managed to score through Alanna Kennedy in the 90th minute, Spurs held their ground. Ho expressed satisfaction with the overall performance, stating, “We were the deserved winners of the game, overall.” His words reflect not just relief but pride in how far his team has come this season.
Key moments from the match:
- Signe Gaupset opened the scoring at 12 minutes.
- Olivia Holdt scored from distance to double Tottenham’s lead.
- Alanna Kennedy netted one for London City Lionesses in injury time.
The victory encapsulates Tottenham’s growth and determination throughout this campaign. With their record-breaking points tally now secured, they are poised to face Brighton in their final match of the season with momentum on their side.
