"When the final whistle finally blew at Hayes Lane on Sunday, there was a sense that something had shifted in the perception of London City Lionesses. Their thrilling 4-2 win over Tottenham felt like not merely three points but a watershed moment in London City's debut Women's Super League campaign. It meant they climbed to the top half of the table with four wins in eight matches."
"Tottenham came into the match flying high - with 15 points collected from a possible 21 making for their best ever start to a WSL campaign. But the promoted side matched them with poise, pace and purpose of a team that showed they belong in the big league, impressing not just with the result but also the manner in which it was achieved."
""a good performance that will give us the confidence and the energy to keep improving even more". Freya Godfrey opened the scoring early, while Nikita Parris struck in her 200th WSL appearance, but Spurs clawed their way back on both occasions through a Cathinka Tandberg penalty and an Eveliina Summanen free-kick. A late own goal from Amanda Nilden helped the hosts reclaim the lead before a second strike from Godfrey sealed the win."
