"When Cathinka Tandberg spotted Courtney Brosnan off her line, as she received the ball 35 yards out, she did not hesitate to attempt the lob, and she would spoil the party for Everton in their first competitive match since making Goodison Park their permanent home. Her first-time strike dropped perfectly and capped off a thoroughly impressive away performance for the north London club, who made it two victories out of two so far under their new head coach, Martin Ho."
"That ambitious effort, four minutes into the second half, came after Olga Ahtinen had slotted Tottenham in front 27 minutes into a first half they controlled, with Everton unable to click into gear. Ahtinen's opener came after she won the ball on the edge of the area, played a one-two with Tandberg and slotted low past Brosnan."
"The former England striker Ellen White labelled the strike absolutely ridiculous on the BBC's live television coverage and Tandberg told the broadcaster: I did it in my last club. You just have to go for it, and when you score that, it's unbelievable. When I get those moments I have to do what I like and that's scoring goals, so go for it'."
Tottenham produced an impressive away display at Goodison Park, with Olga Ahtinen opening the scoring after a turnover and one-two with Cathinka Tandberg. Four minutes into the second half Tandberg spotted goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan off her line and executed a first-time 35-yard lob that sealed the win. Both goals derived from intense Tottenham pressing and quick transitions, with Bethany England contributing to the buildup. Tandberg made her first start since a deadline-day move and had practiced the strike in training. The victory gave Tottenham two wins from two under manager Martin Ho, while Everton struggled to find rhythm.
