Description

Spurs Women went unbeaten in the final two games of the three-match week, heading into the winter break on an optimistic note.

First, we chat about the final League Cup group stage game, a 0-2 away win at Crystal Palace:

• a balance of rotation and experience
• Lenna's impactful performance
• selfless Martha's assist for Tilly
• Araya's first Spurs goal
• a senior debut for Zara Bailey

(Note: We mention the upcoming cup match at Everton—it's actually in the FA Cup, not the League Cup!)

Then we recap the 1-1 draw at Brighton in WSL play:

• praise for Molly's consistency
• takeaways from Eleanor's run of matches
• the Beth + Martha debate intensifies
• assessing the result

Plus, we discuss the new naming sponsor for the League Cup, our quarterfinal match against West Ham with a potential semifinal matchup at the winner of Chelsea vs Durham, and the announcement of the new Europa Cup format.

Happy holidays!
