“From start to finish, I thought we were good,” said Martin Ho after Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 victory over London City Lionesses at Brisbane Road on May 3, 2026. This win not only secured three points but also allowed Spurs to set a new record points tally of 33 in the Women’s Super League.
The match unfolded dramatically, with Signe Gaupset scoring the opening goal just 12 minutes into the game. Olivia Holdt followed up with a stunning second goal from around 25 yards, sealing what seemed like a comfortable lead for Spurs. Yet, Alanna Kennedy’s strike for London City in the 90th minute added tension to the final moments.
This victory came on the heels of a goalless draw against Manchester United, making it crucial for Spurs to find their rhythm again. The atmosphere at Brisbane Road—home ground of the London City Lionesses—was charged, reflecting the significance of this London derby.
Ho expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance, stating, “We were the deserved winners of the game, overall.” His appreciation for the players’ efforts was evident; he noted, “I can’t thank them anymore.” Such sentiments resonate deeply as they reflect not only individual performances but also collective growth throughout the season.
The victory signifies more than just points; it marks a pivotal moment in Tottenham’s history within women’s football. Breaking their previous record points tally is no small feat and sets a high bar for future seasons.
As Tottenham Hotspur looks ahead, they aim to maintain this momentum in their final game against Brighton. The stakes are high—both for pride and for potential future accolades.
