Tottenham Hotspur head coach Martin Ho praised his players after a 3-0 Subway Women’s League Cup win over Birmingham City.
And he said he couldn’t ask for anything more from them after a fine start to the season, which has left them fourth in the Women’s Super League table before the international break – ahead of local rivals Arsenal.
“I think up to this point we’ve done really well – 12 points in the league and five points in the cup. I couldn’t ask for more,” he told the club’s official website.
“The group has given me everything so far and I want to make sure we continue to build on that. We can’t get comfortable or think we can take our foot off the gas. We have six really big games after the break, and we need to go into those games ready to win.”
Tottenham Hotspur boss Ho: It was a really good performance
He was particularly impressed on Sunday with goalscorers Olivia Holdt, who got a brace, and Amanda Nilden.
“Three points, three goals. I’d say it was a dominant performance for large spells. Maybe the last five or ten minutes, we got a little bit scrappy with the ball and gave away a few too many easy chances through our own build-up.
“Apart from that, I thought it was a really good performance. Some good individual performances, but collectively a really positive one off the back of Chelsea.
“The first goal was really good in terms of her instinctiveness in the box – to lift it over the keeper when she comes out. Then, her ability to go around the keeper on the second one. The build-up play to that point was good, really clever – a great through ball for the second goal.
“Amanda’s goal where she cuts inside and puts it in the bottom corner – that gives us a really nice 3–0 win and, more importantly, an opportunity to get closer to progression out of the group.”
Tottenham Hotspur are top of Group E, with five points from their two matches so far.
Tottenham Hotspur’s next match will be in the Women’s Super League on Sunday, 2nd November, when they face Liverpool after the international break.
Their next match in the Subway Women’s League Cup is away to Bristol City, on Sunday, 23rd November.
