Tottenham and Everton Settle for Goalless Draw in Women’s Super League
Tottenham Hotspur and Everton played to a tense goalless draw in the Women’s Super League on Sunday.
Entering the match in fourth place, Tottenham’s failure to score meant they dropped to fifth, while Everton remained in the hunt but extended their winless streak in the league to five matches.
Yuka Momiki, who netted a hat-trick for Everton in their recent 6-0 victory over Durham in the Women’s Players Cup, was prominent in the first half, creating two strong attempts that were saved by Spurs’ goalkeeper Lize Kop.
Tottenham began to find their rhythm as the game progressed. Julie Blakstad had a goalbound header cleared off the line by defender Rion Ishikawa, and Olivia Holdt saw her powerful strike brilliantly saved by Everton’s Courtney Brosnan.
In a quick counter-attack, Everton nearly took the lead, but Ornella Vignola’s shot missed the target.
As the second half unfolded, Tottenham generated more chances. Blakstad’s diving header was deflected wide by Brosnan, and Amanda Nilden’s subsequent header from the corner went off target.
Holdt later struck the crossbar, while Blakstad’s looping header was inches away from finding the net as it landed on the roof of the goal.
The final effort fell to Everton substitute Noemie Mouchon, whose angled shot in the dying moments of the match zipped past the post.
