Tottenham Women Under-19s seal historic PGA League Division One promotion despite tense Crystal Palace draw

The Tottenham Hotspur Women Under-19 squad earned promotion to the Professional Game Academy League Division One for the first time following a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace at Hotspur Way. The point secured a fifth-place finish, allowing Spurs to fend off Palace, who were the only team capable of overtaking them in the standings.

Crystal Palace went down to ten players twelve minutes in after Selina Williams Everett received a straight red card. Eloise Summers Mee gave Tottenham the lead early in the second half from a Grace Bellwood cross before Palace equalized midway through the period. Tottenham will now compete against elite sides like Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton, and Bristol City in October.
