Tottenham Hotspur won 3-0 away to Southampton to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup.
The result sees Spurs – who finished second to Arsenal in their group – progress as one of the two best runners-up.
Ramona Petzelberger rifled home a wickedly-deflected effort to give Tottenham the lead inside the half-hour, watched by a crowd of 1,735 at Eastleigh FC.
Spurs amassed 24 shots to the Saints two but took until midway through the second half to double their lead, when Charlotte Grant slid in to score from a corner.
Grace Clinton wrapped up the victory 12 minutes from time, working her way into the box and lifting the ball over keeper Kayla Rendell.
