The Lionesses mauled Spurs in a statement win for the visitors. Not pretty, and Spurs now have some soul-searching to do during the international break before hosting [checks notes]... Chelsea? Eep. cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com/tottenham-ho...

Full time. Spurs ran into a London City buzz-saw today, and got played off the park. Final score is 1-6.

Goal to London City. Cascarino piles on the misery for Spurs. TOT 1-6 LCR 94'

Gotta say I find it hard to criticize London City for buying a very good team when plenty of WSL sides could've easily done that for about the cost of six months of Sandro Tonai's salary, and chose not to.

All the energy has gone out of this match with three minutes left to go in regulation. Both teams just playing out the string at this point. TOT 1-5 LCR 88'

Goal London City. Unlucky. Kop rushed out to cut out a scoring chance, but Diani got in the way of the clearance and it falls right to her feet. She taps into an open goal. Some appeal for a handball as the block seemed to go off Diani's arm, but it's not given. TOT 1-5 LCR 75'.

GREAT save from Kop on Anyomi, after London City put together a truly impressive break via Van de Donk. I kinda hate admitting how good this Lionesses team is.

030

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 11h

That's a pretty shocking decision to give the foul there after she initially let play go on. Boos around Brisbane Road and for good reason.

030

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 11h

Sub for Spurs -- Pelova is off for Martinez.

000

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

Holdt with a long range shot from the top of the box and it goes wide. Looked like Lete had it well covered anyway. TOT 1-4 LCR 65'

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

If you want to cling to some semblance of hope, Spurs are very much a second half team. But it's hard when you spot your opponent a 4-0 lead.

020

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

Ohhhhhhh Spurs with a golden chance to cut the lead to 2-4. Holdt with a good delivery into the box, but Vinberg couldn't put the chance on target.

010

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

GOAL! SPURS PULL ONE BACK! PELOVA SCORES! Blakstad with a lovely cross into the box, it falls to Victoria's feet and she slots it home. I don't know how much of a difference it'll make, but it's something! TOT 1-4 LCR 54'

060

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

Goal to London City. Van De Donk bundles it in. TOT 0-4 LCR 52'

000

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

OK I'm annoyed at the match official. Gaupset got clearly fouled, no call, but they're happy to call the foul on Putellas (which was a foul to be clear).

150

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

Two halftime subs for Spurs: Matilda Vinberg and Ella Morris are on for Hanson and Dijkstra.

010

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

We're back underway in the 2nd half. Spurs trailing London City 0-3 at home.

000

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

I decided to change the cat litter at halftime and that was a more pleasurable experience than that first half.

050

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

HALFTIME. Well, that was a clinic from London City. Two goals from Putellas and one from Diani puts the visitors up 0-3 at the break. Spurs running into a buzz-saw today.

120

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

Oh man Nilden with a great chance but has her shot deflected over the bar. Corner.

030

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

OH MY GOD FANTASTIC free kick from Blakstad, Lete gets a hand to it and tips it off the post. Spurs' best chance yet.

050

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

Fantastic dribble at the endline by Holdt, forces a late Spurs corner.

020

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

Oh my god Van de Donk had an open goal and an incredible chance to score but puts it side netting. This is getting scary.

120

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

This is distressing, but London City are playing like they could challenge for the WSL title, not just top four. They've been magnificent in this first half. It'd be great if Spurs can pull a goal back before halftime.

I'm remembering how much I disliked Danielle van de Donk when she played for Arsenal.

010

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

Goal to London City, Alexia again. God, what a shot. Can't even be mad. TOT 0-3 LCR 34'

020

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

OHHH, Penalty shout for Spurs as Pelova bundled over in the box but the ref decides not to give it. Need to see a replay of that...

020

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 12h

Corralles with a shot on target for London City, smartly saved at the near post by Kop. TOT 0-2 LCR 30'

010

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

That was too easy. Just a simple cross across the face of goal and Diani unmarked pokes it past Kop. TOT 0-2 LCR 23'

060

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

Spurs with their first corner! Hanson dribbles to the end line, attempts a cutback, and it's hacked out of play by London City.

000

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

Spurs finding their feet. Holdt with a cross attempt from the right flank but it's too close to London's keeper. TOT 0-1 LCR 20'

000

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

That's better! Spurs finally get the ball in LCL's box. The chances were blocked, but a couple of half chances for Tandberg, Pelova, and Gaupset.

040

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

Yikes. Van de Donk with a diving header for London City that fortunately flies wide of the post. TOT 0-1 LCL 13'

010

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

We're used to seeing Spurs Women swarming other teams, but the roles are reversed here early on. London City really putting the screws on Spurs' defense, hardly giving them any space. I doubt they'll keep this intensity up forever, but Spurs may need to try to go Route One for a bit.

020

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

London City coming out absolutely SWARMING Spurs in the high press. Tottenham look a little shell-shocked, to be honest.

000

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

An uncharacteristic giveaway from Toko Koga gave the ball back to London City. Kop made a fine save from the existing shot but it falls right to Alexia who slots home easily. Boo. TOT 0-1 LON

010

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

Goal to London City. Alexia puts the visitors ahead.

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

KICK-OFF! We're underway between Spurs Women and London City Lionesses!

000

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

A moment of silence ahead of kickoff for the passing of Leyton Orient's ticket manager. Spurs play their home matches at Orient's stadium.

060

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

You know how so many people, including us, said that it's possible to just BUY a competitive WSL team and how it was weird that Spurs just didn't do that? Well, London City did that. They're good. This will be a challenge.

020

Cartilage Free Captain @cartilagefree.bsky.social · 13h

Spurs are taking the pitch, with a lineup unchanged from last weekend. We're kicking off shortly!

Good lord Radu lmao

A photo of Radu Dragusin with a quote from him after he was red carded and Fiorentina went on to lose the match: "I left at 0-0. What happened after that is between them and God."
