A breathtaking second half goal avalanche at Selhurst Park saw Tottenham completely overpower their London rivals to keep an unbeaten league run firmly intact.
The N17 faithful witnessed something truly special on Sunday afternoon as Tottenham ran riot across the capital. The Lilywhites produced an exhilarating attacking display to dismantle Crystal Palace in a commanding 7-0 victory. This statement win keeps the squad’s remarkable unbeaten record in the Women’s Super League intact.
The afternoon tilted decisively inside the opening ten minutes. Palace defender Fuka Tsuonda received a straight red card after seven minutes following a dangerous high challenge on striker Cathinka Tandberg. Despite dominating 71 percent of possession and creating numerous chances throughout the first period, the visitors met stiff resistance from goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud Magnin.
The breakthrough finally arrived four minutes after the restart. Danish attacker Olivia Holdt, making her first league start of the campaign, connected with a fine delivery from Victoria Pelova to volley home. Holdt doubled the advantage on the hour mark, collecting a pass from Signe Gaupset before dispatching an exquisite strike straight into the roof of the net.
Relentless Second Half Pressure Dismantles Palace
Holdt completed her memorable treble on seventy-three minutes with a swerving drive from twenty-five yards out. The achievement etched her name into the history books, becoming only the second Tottenham player to register a hat-trick in the division since promotion in 2019. Palace simply had no answer to the waves of pressure pouring forward.
Pelova soon found the bottom corner to claim her first goal in Lilywhite colours. Moments later, substitute Shekiera Martinez joined the act by reacting quickest to bundle in a rebound after Gaupset unselfishly squared possession. Swedish full back Amanda Nilden then added the sixth with a neat low finish from a clever Matilda Vinberg assist.
Pelova capped off the scoring in the final minute with a composed finish inside the near post. Describing the performance, the official club match report celebrated “a stunning second half display” that kept momentum soaring. The North Londoners look genuinely formidable.
