Gago Scores Winner Off the Bench! - Tottenham v Everton - Barclays WSL 25-26

Everton win the ball back early looking to settle on things here is for a galley and pain with a pace is breaking in behind and spurs a stretch so early in the match great chance and what a stop leaves her cop off of her line to keep out Everton brilliant goalkeeping. That's fantastic goalkeeping there from Kop I think Tottenham Hotspur just switched off in the build-up to this and Tony Payne was really alert driving forward but Kop's equal to it yeah and she makes a really early positive decision which you need from your goalkeeper and Tottenham Hotspur will need to switch on. Cross does eventually come into the middle it's a decent delivery towards Tamberg and that's her centre forward instinct she did get onto it yeah Everton are gonna have to be a be aware of that as the ball does come in from these crosses from wide areas they'll look to do that early space and Tamberg does well to get on the end of it I think Brosman was equal to it to check her work that down the line well and this is great football from Everton Cramshaw trying to get away from Bartrip she has Mimiki hits a crisp shot right into the corner brilliant goal you come Mimiki finds the net and Everton with their second major chance of the day have scored their first goal Lisa Kop couldn't get down to it first nil Everton won it's a great bit of play from Everton just finding the space down this left hand side it's Cramshaw who drives in field really brave and finding Mimiki at the edge of the box and I think it takes a deflection on the way in with the shot as Mimiki struck it but it's really positive from her she's been great form of late you can Mimiki and who say first thought is to take a strike and as Kop can't get down to it in form Everton three league wins in a row coming into this are up at Tottenham Oxford here's Payne with that pace feels she's got the better of black sat super running and behind good defending in the end and desperate defending from Spurs this is all about paying on the right hand side she just picks up the ball and the bravery the trickery the directness just to go at black start and I think it's vibrant coming in at the back line there who clears it but yeah she does really well really positive from paying out that right hand side they just needed Everton to get on the end of it I mean William's beaten to it in so diagonal ball will it reach pain yes it will and the finish was inventive but just wide from Tony Payne as Everton are so close to doubling their advantage that's Vignola with the switch ball she sees the space to try and find pain in and blacks that can't clear it and pain just can't steer it towards goal when they do find her in those spaces she can be really dangerous oh what a ball into pain who turns pain again and this time into cop super move Vignola's past set her away that vision from Vignola there just to slot it through and take out four or five Tottenham players in the move between the lines great vision from here Vague coming up on the Holt again oh what trickery Olivia Holt that's extraordinary and unfortunately for Spurs it doesn't lead to a meaningful chance at Brosnan's goal what an unbelievable bit of trickery that was from Holt it's the confidence in it to be able to do this with three Everton players around you threatening position Bethany England just off of the bench and an early sign that she's going to be a threat here in this second half it's positive down this right hand side from Vikings headers nowhere near goalwards but again just showing signs of that they're trying to get themselves back into this game Tottenham Fernandez for Checo picked up brilliantly in centrefield by Gali the Italian Tony Payne hovering on the shoulder of Blackstaff at the far post as Vignola's cross might work out oh a pain couldn't get a toe onto that it's positive play from Vignola again down this left hand side just wanting to cut inside she's gone to try and find pay to couldn't connect with it oh well worked again by Everton Hannah Blundell racing forward Olivia Holt's down for Spurs down at the other end by the way Blackstaff stands up defensively to the challenge but Cramshaw's kept this alive for Everton back with Lawley did well to keep that move going Micky's delivery oh and it's just flicked onto the roof of the net and Pacheco was one of those in the middle yeah probably not who we expect to be getting on the end of this but Pacheco from Micky's delivery manages to connect of it just over the bar Spence getting word that Olivia Holt's going to have to come off in a moment for Tottenham Gallup set still going Gallup set and she manages to squeeze it in her first goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium gets the host level into the final quarter of an hour Gallup set's the one who's made the difference for them today and she just pulls it out of nowhere really to beat Brosnan I think Brosnan's probably surprised to see it kind of drift in it beats two players who are in the box as well and can't clear it's pinpoint for her and yeah it's a good finish from Gallup set Tinker Tamburg what could play shot passing from Everton Lawley again Gabbaro in the middle there she is better from Everton they've upped it a little bit with this double change yeah that kind of fresh energy coming in from the sidelines you can see what's kind of done to them think Gabbaro as well Spinola just picking up in the centre of the park playing out into Melissa Lawley who's trying to get the cross into Gabbaro she does really well she just can't quite get it down and get across the top of the ball but positive from Everton oh great running might be in here Gabbaro Gago in the middle waiting for it and the double change proves inspired for Everton right in front of the travelling support from Merseyside turned in by Kelly Gago and Everton lead in North London for a second time what a ball by Pacheco down that left hand side ball comes in and Gago a fantastic finish and that's exactly why these two have been sent on it's the link up from Gabbaro the finish from Gago and the celebration with the Everton fans to show what it means to put a side up 2-1 here's Mace it's a super ball well waited again into Bondell on the movement off of the ball from Everton now really good Lawley in oh what a save by Kopp flicked it onto the frame of the goal and Everton nearly had the victory sealed what a save this could prove to be for a team and keeping them in it right at the last moment as Melissa Lawley tries to sneak one in at the near post and it's a fantastic save Lawley takes the strike point blank range for Kopp who can nick it onto the post and again keeps the team in this a 2-1. Rybrink goes long England it does break England Bondell with a challenge Mathilde Nilden sees the runner the runner is Blackstats who couldn't quite judge it and Brosnan does enough to see Everton home with all three points what a victory for Scott Phelan's side that's four in a row in the Barclays WSL they have really turned things around and the late strike from Kelly Gago has decided this one in North London Tottenham Oxford 1 Everton 2. I think in the first half we maybe could have had one more goal if we'd been truthful we're happy with some of our phases of play just towards the end of the first half you could sense Tottenham got a little bit more control than maybe they had early in the game so we spoke about that what to expect and it proved the start of the second half was tough in terms of territory not so many chances at goal but definitely they had more possession and more control than what we did which in that moment took a big collective effort and then as the game's going on we ended up getting a reward after conceding a goal so the response to that was brilliant and say the subs that came on made a big impact definitely towards the end of the game but the goal that we scored was a big example of that we were okay with the ball in the second half but some of our defending we were we wasn't nowhere near we wasn't close enough wasn't aggressive enough we didn't get close enough in the duels to shut anything down and when you don't do that you get punished and yeah they punished us especially with the second goal we wasn't 100% in all the actions maximal and when you're not you get punished and never mind there probably could have been more
