Tottenham Hotspur Women have been recognised for their excellent September with four nominations across the Women's Super League's monthly awards. The nominations highlight the team's strong start, which has propelled them to second place in the league with ten points from four games.
Manager Martin Ho is in contention for the September Coach of the Month award. He is nominated alongside Chelsea's Sonia Bompastor, Manchester City's Andree Jeglertz, and London City Lionesses' Eder Maestre. "Martin Ho has been nominated for September Coach of the Month," the manager said.
Two Spurs players are also up for individual honours. Striker Victoria Pelova, who has scored four goals in four appearances this season, is nominated for Player of the Month. She is currently tied as the league's top scorer. Winger Signe Gaupset, who leads the WSL with three assists, has also been nominated.
Kirsty Hanson's curling strike against West Ham United in the season opener has been shortlisted for Goal of the Month. Meanwhile, defender Caitlin Dijkstra was the sole Tottenham representative in the latest WSL Team of the Week. She scored in the 4-0 victory over Aston Villa last week. "Caitlin Dijsktra, who has started every match for Spurs so far this season, was the only Tottenham player named in the WSL/WSL2 Team of the Week," she noted.
The team's form, has been impressive. They have scored 15 goals while conceding only twice, building a formidable goal difference of +13. Their recent results include a 1-0 win over Brighton and that comprehensive 4-0 defeat of Aston Villa.
Attention now turns to a key fixture this Sunday against fourth-placed London City Lionesses. The match, which features two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas, kicks off at 9:00 a.m. ET and will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network and Sky Sports Football, with streaming on Most important+. A win would consolidate Spurs' position near the top of the standings.
