John Wenham believes Tottenham Women are moving in the right direction and Beth England’s return to form can be a “huge boost” for the club in the second half of the season.
It was their first taste of WSL action since their historic first-ever victory over Arsenal Women when they beat the Gunners 1-0 in the North London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 16 December.
Over a month later they made it back-to-back wins in the competition, which now leaves them unbeaten in their last four matches, and Robert Vilahamn will know that he has a real star on his hands in the form of on-loan ace Grace Clinton.
The 27-year-old arrived from West Ham United in July 2022 having spent two seasons with the east London side, but endured a difficult first season in blue due to injury. She managed five appearances in all competitions and scored her first goal for the club in an 8-0 UEFA Women’s Champions League victory over Albanian side Vllaznia in October 2022. In February, it was confirmed the Czech international had undergone knee surgery which ruled her out for the remainder of the 2022/23 season.
Chasing a trophy the Blues last won three seasons ago, a much-changed side never looked in danger in the second of four consecutive games at Kingsmeadow.

Chelsea midfielder Jelena Cankovic believes past success in the FA Cup is irrelevant in our bid to overcome Crystal Palace in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup fifth round at Kingsmeadow this afternoon.
The 23-year-old became a Blue last summer after joining from Aston Villa. Patience was required before she was given the chance to impress and when those opportunities came, Hampton grasped them with both hands.
Chelsea forward Lauren James has been named the Barclays Women’s Super League Player of the Month for January after a scintillating showing in front of goal, which helped the Blues achieve maximum points from our two league fixtures.
Mia Fishel says every appearance she makes for Chelsea is 'special' and believes the hard work undertaken on the training pitch was reflected in our 5-0 victory over Sunderland in the Continental Tyres League Cup.
