The passionate head coach applauded his brilliant squad following a dramatic comeback victory securing their best ever campaign today.
The Barclays Women’s Super League concluded dramatically today. The passionate N17 faithful traveled south to watch Tottenham Hotspur face Brighton and Hove Albion. They battled inside the Amex Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and the Lilywhites successfully wrapped up their best ever season competing within the English top flight football. They remain the only divisional team never losing upon any final day. They had to fight back from behind initially. Madison Haley handed the Seagulls their opening lead just three minutes following the break.
The resilient North Londoners responded brilliantly during regulation time. The 24-year-old Olivia Holdt blasted home an equalizer from close range. This crucial strike marked her tenth goal during a remarkable first full campaign playing for the Lilywhites. Young defender Toko Koga then produced a superb finish from distance. The 20-year-old claimed maximum points, securing an impressive 2-1 victory. Related official news featured Morris and Koga reflecting upon this dramatic late win. Head Coach Martin Ho reflected perfectly.
Martin Ho evaluates Olivia Holdt as Tottenham Hotspur plan strategy
“Everyone has contributed to the success this season,” Ho declared today. “All plaudits should go to the players and the staff,” he noted. “To come back from being one behind to go on and win the game,” he added. He praised his winner. “She probably plays above her years,” Ho noted regarding Koga. “When she hits that ball under pressure off balance, I think it shows the signs of the quality she has.” Ho evaluated his main goalscorer perfectly.
“I know the quality Oli possesses,” he explained. “If it is going to drop to someone, probably with her quality, technically you want her to land to,” Ho admitted he still learned lots as a head coach. “I do not have all the answers,” he confessed. He wants players, psychologically and physically, to reset during the summer. “We must enthuse them, giving fans something to shout about,” he noted proudly. “The relationship between players and fans has grown massively,” he concluded.
