Tottenham Hotspur Women have a win under their belt after a late Bethany England penalty led them to a 1-0 win over West Ham last weekend. Today, they face a tougher challenge — a trip to Goodison Park to play away to Everton. The Toffees have a shiny new stadium for their men’s team, and have given the venerable Goodison over to Everton Women, which honestly is pretty fantastic. That’s a stadium with a ton of history, and it will make traveling there to play even more difficult.
Everton are something
of an enigma this season — they finished 8th in the table last year but were very active in the summer transfer window, bringing in eight new players including a trio of Japanese nationals in Rion Ishikawa, Hikaru Kitagawa, and Yuka Momiki. Last week they dismantled Liverpool 4-1 behind a hat trick from Ornella Vignola. They clearly have ambition, and will be facing Spurs at home. Tottenham weren’t exactly dynamic against West Ham, but they did play them more or less even and looked impressive defensively. They just need the attack to click and it could be a much better season compared to last.
