Spurs Held by Everton

Tottenham slipped to fifth in the Women’s Super League after a closely contested 0-0 draw with Everton.

Spurs began the day in fourth but could not find a breakthrough, while the visitors’ winless league run stretched to five matches.

Yuka Momiki carried Everton’s main threat early on.

Fresh from scoring a hat-trick in Wednesday’s 6-0 Women’s Players Cup victory over Durham, she twice forced saves from Lize Kop.

Tottenham gradually took control, with Rion Ishikawa clearing Julie Blakstad’s goalbound header before Courtney Brosnan produced an excellent save to push Olivia Holdt’s fierce strike over the bar.

Everton remained dangerous on the break, although Ornella Vignola fired wide after a swift counter-attack.

Spurs created the clearer chances after half-time. Brosnan tipped Blakstad’s diving header wide, and Amanda Nilden headed off target from the subsequent corner.

Holdt then struck the crossbar, while another Blakstad header looped onto the roof of the net as Tottenham’s frustration continued.

Everton almost snatched victory in the final minute, but substitute Noemie Mouchon’s low shot from an angle flashed past the post, leaving both sides to settle for a point.
