Head coach Martin Ho heaped immense praise on his squad after an explosive four goal blitz tore Aston Villa apart at Brisbane Road.
The North Londoners are producing scintillating football in the Women’s Super League. Sunday afternoon provided another emphatic statement of intent as Tottenham Hotspur Women completely crushed Aston Villa in front of an ecstatic home crowd. While the opening period demanded real patience, the hosts mounted an irresistible attacking wave after the interval to seal a dominant 4-0 victory.
The result preserves a magnificent domestic run for the ambitious capital club. Tottenham remain unbeaten this league campaign with three wins and one draw, extending an exceptional seven-match streak stretching back into last season. Much of that momentum belongs to the Dutch sensation Victoria Pelova, who broke the deadlock before striking again on 73 minutes for her second consecutive brace.
Pelova now boasts four goals across her last two league outings. Fellow Netherlands star Caitlin Dijkstra quickly compounded the visitors’ misery eight minutes later by heading home her first goal for the club. Striker Cathinka Tandberg then completed the scoring on 88 minutes. Remarkably, Tottenham recorded 35 shots for a second straight WSL match, becoming the only club in competition history to achieve that milestone.
Unprecedented Dominance And Tactical Discipline At Brisbane Road
Speaking to SPURSPLAY, Martin Ho delivered a glowing post-match assessment, hailing the demolition as the finest showing of his managerial tenure. “I think that is probably our best performance in the time I have been here, personally,” Ho told reporters. “Most complete from back to front, defensively and offensively. Really proud of the group, and the most important part is to get three points.”
Ho explained his tactical message at halftime mirrored the previous victory over Crystal Palace. The squad were getting into ideal positions and simply required “a little bit more quality and a bit more belief” in front of goal. Dominant counter-pressing quickly pinned Villa back, while goalkeeper Lize Kop comfortably secured a third consecutive clean sheet to preserve their historic domestic momentum moving forward.
