Tottenham Hotspur extended their strong start to the Women’s Super League season with a commanding 7-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday. The hosts were reduced to 10 players early in the match when midfielder Fuka Tsunoda received a straight red card in the eighth minute for a late challenge on Tottenham’s Cathinka Tandberg.

The numerical advantage quickly tilted the momentum in Spurs’ favor, although they had to wait until the second half for the breakthrough. Denmark forward Olivia Holdt emerged as the standout player, scoring a hat-trick that effectively put the game out of Palace’s reach. Tottenham had come close in the first period, hitting the woodwork twice, signaling their attacking threat before Holdt’s goals opened the scoring. Additional strikes in the final stages from summer signing Victoria Pelova, substitute Shekiera Martinez, and Amanda Nilden rounded off the comprehensive win.

Elsewhere, Everton secured a late 1-0 victory against West Ham United, thanks to an own goal by Irons defender Laia Codina in stoppage time. The goal came from a free-kick delivered by Yuka Momiki, breaking the deadlock in what had been a closely contested match. The result elevated Everton into fifth place in the league standings.

Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion played out a 1-1 draw, with the visitors taking an early lead through Gabby George in the first half. Villa’s Lynn Wilms earned a late equalizer in the 89th minute, keeping both teams winless in the Women’s Super League so far this season.

The latest round of fixtures highlighted Tottenham’s continued dominance among the league’s front runners while other sides remain eager to open their accounts as the campaign unfolds.
