Tottenham Hotspur Women extended their unbeaten run with a goalless draw against West Ham in the WSL Cup group stage on Wednesday. The result at Brisbane Road saw both sides take a point from a tight contest.
Robert Vilahamn's side, who sit second in the FA Women's Super League with seven points from three games, were unable to find a breakthrough against a resolute Hammers defence. The match followed a 7-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace just three days earlier, a game in which Olivia Holdt scored a hat-trick to take her season tally to three goals.
The match kicked off at 6pm on a mild September evening. Both teams created half-chances but clear opportunities were scarce throughout the 90 minutes. Tottenham's defensive organisation, which has seen them concede only two league goals all season, was again on display as they kept a clean sheet.
A point from the opening group fixture provides a solid foundation for Tottenham's WSL Cup campaign. The team's focus now shifts immediately back to league action and maintaining their strong early-season form.
Attention turns to a home fixture against Aston Villa this Sunday. Villa currently occupy 11th place in the table, presenting an opportunity for Tottenham to build on their positive start. The squad's depth and current momentum will be key as they prepare for a busy period of matches.
