Tottenham recorded their third win of the Women's Super League season against Everton and can thank captain Beth England for her influence in the 2-1 victory.

When opening the scoring in the 25th minute from close range, England's thumping strike on the rebound was already her fourth shot of the the game, having already missed three headers.

Her second from the penalty spot was struck with just as much venom and a timely reminder of the player Tottenham have leading their line, as well as the whole team.

Robert Vilahamn has spoken repeatedly of his desire for attacking football and why it will be his primary focus over keeping clean sheets.

With England up front, Vilahamn certainly has the finisher he needs to spearhead his philosophy. Now, he needs the supporting cast to step up and add to England's goals.
