The incredibly talented Japanese international capped an amazing, record-breaking season with an unbelievable stoppage-time strike against Brighton locally.
Extreme professional environments constantly test emerging defensive prospects globally. The N17 faithful watched Toko Koga conquer those physical challenges effortlessly. The talented 20-year-old defender recently took her tally to 19 league appearances. She missed only three games, including two involving Japan national team commitments.
The Lilywhites travelled south to face Brighton and Hove Albion inside the Amex Stadium. Madison Haley gave the Seagulls an early second half lead locally. The determined North Londoners sparked an amazing comeback almost immediately. The £3m rated Olivia Holdt scored her tenth seasonal goal levelling things up perfectly.
Koga then delivered absolute magic during highly dramatic stoppage time. She intercepted an attempted clearance from goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley perfectly. Seeing the goalkeeper stranded completely off her line, she executed a superb lob. The ball sailed perfectly into the empty net, securing maximum points today.
