Analysis: Crystal Palace 2-3 Tottenham

There is nothing better in football than a last-minute winner.

One scored by a new signing on debut, in a game that you look to have thrown away, it is that much more special.

Olivia Holdt's 95th-minute free-kick at Crystal Palace is certainly one that Tottenham fans and players alike can savour.

Of course, having been 2-0 up at half-time against the bottom side in Women's Super League, Spurs will know that there really should have been no need for such a dramatic ending.

Manager Robert Vilahamn will no doubt go over the issues that allowed Palace to draw level in the second half with his team in the days to come.

But the moment Holdt's curling strike hit the back of the net, those Spurs frustrations melted to nothingness, replaced by elation at snatching victory at the last.

Spurs have aspirations of closing the gap to the top four in the second half of the campaign and these it is this sort of win that might give them the momentum to do so.

As for Holdt, you only have to look at the Denmark midfielder's record at Rosengard - and Hjorring before that - to see that she has an eye for goal.

But however many she goes on to score for Tottenham, it is going to be hard to top her first. She could not have asked for a more perfect start.
