Martin Ho hails ‘outstanding’ mentality shift as Tottenham run riot against Crystal Palace amid stunning second-half rampage

Tottenham Hotspur Women secured a dominant 7-0 victory against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park to move up to second place in the Women's Super League. Crystal Palace defender Fuka Tusonda was sent off just seven minutes into the match for a foul on Cathinka Tandberg, but Tottenham were held scoreless through a sluggish first half before mounting a dominant second-half display.

Head coach Martin Ho praised the squad's improved mentality after tactical adjustments at halftime sparked an attacking surge. Olivia Holdt scored a 23-minute hat trick starting four minutes into the second half, while Victoria Pelova scored two goals alongside single strikes from Amanda Nilden and Shekiera Martinez.
