Spurs claim first victory in Women's Super League

The team responded perfectly to their narrow 2-1 defeat at Durham last week as goals from Bianca Baptiste and Coral-Jade Haines secured the points at Cheshunt FC.

Karen Hills said the players would learn quickly after that opening day loss and that proved the case.

"The players weren't down after Durham and as I said last week, if anything, that proved they can compete at this level," said Karen.

"You could sense they just wanted to get out there again and we played really well against Villa.

"It was a tough game, Villa had a spell in the second half where we had to defend well but we came through it and went on to add our second goal.
