Tottenham's Women's team has continued its impressive progress in the Women's Super League (WSL), taking a crucial 0-0 draw against local rivals Arsenal, further solidifying their position. The north London club welcomed a record crowd of 6,788 at Brisbane Road and inflicted frustration on their title rivals for just the third time in 12 WSL meetings.
Spurs boss Martin Ho praised his side's performance, stating that they "don't make us a great team by just getting a point against Arsenal because you have to consistently deliver that." He stressed that the key is to sustain this level of performance and application every single game.
The draw marked another positive step in Tottenham's journey as they strive to push for promotion. The club has already enjoyed significant highs, including their first Women's FA Cup final appearance in 2024, but ultimately failed to build on those moments.
Tottenham have made substantial changes to their structure and recruitment strategy, introducing a new coaching staff, adapting their recruitment approach, and investing heavily in sports performance, nutrition, and leadership. Chief executive officer Vinai Venkatesham has also brought a fresh perspective to the boardroom, driving priorities for the women's team.
The team's recent performances have shown significant improvement, with key players such as Cathinka Tandberg holding up the ball in attack and Toko Koga providing rock-solid defense. Tottenham are currently just one point behind Manchester United in the Champions League qualification spots after nine matches, with 16 points to their name so far.
The draw against Arsenal was a testament to Tottenham's growing strength. They demonstrated bravery when winning back possession, taking on the more experienced opponents and were savvy in seeing out the game. While they are still underdogs, Spurs showed that they are capable of competing with the top teams in the league.
As Ho noted, "any game we go into now, we've got to be competitive." Tottenham must continue to push for promotion while staying grounded and focused on their goal. With the right mix of talent, teamwork, and dedication, this could be a promising season for the North London club.
