Aston Villa Women were comprehensively beaten 4-0 by Tottenham Hotspur Women in the Women's Super League on Sunday. The heavy defeat at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium leaves Carla Ward's side 13th in the table with just two points from their opening four games.
Victoria Pelova was the star for the hosts, scoring twice to effectively decide the contest. The Dutch international opened the scoring in the 54th minute and added a superb curling effort into the top corner in the 73rd. Tottenham's Caitlin Dijkstra and Cathinka Tandberg then added late goals to complete the scoring.
For Aston Villa, the result extends a difficult start to the campaign. They have now conceded ten goals while scoring only three, leaving them with a goal difference of minus seven. Their recent form shows just one win in their last five outings, a sequence that reads LWDLD.
The team must now regroup quickly ahead of their next fixture. They host Crystal Palace Women at Villa Park on Sunday, 4 October, looking to bounce back against a side currently sitting eighth. Check the upcoming fixtures for all the details on that key home match.
