Manchester City made it back-to-back WSL wins with an impressive 5-1 victory over in-form Tottenham at Brisbane Road on Friday evening. Goals from Aoba Fujino, Vivianne Miedema, Kerstin Casparij and Laura Coombs saw Andree Jeglertz’s side build on their win over Brighton on a night which was capped off by midfielder Grace Clinton also scoring on her debut for the club.
City flew out of the traps, deploying a ferocious high press which put Spurs goalkeeper Lize Kop – who had yet to concede in 2025-26 before the match – under all sorts of pressure.
Their early momentum was disrupted, though, when Lauren Hemp had to be taken off after picking up a suspected ankle injury in a challenge with Jess Naz.
But the visitors continued to dominate even without their star winger, and they took the lead through Fujino’s powerful drive after 23 minutes.
And City soon powered into a 3-0 lead after both Miedema and Casparij found the back of the net in an excellent four-minute spell before the interval.
Picking up from where they left off after the break, Khadija Shaw could have added a fourth from the spot but her penalty was well saved by Kop.
However City soon introduced summer signing Clinton and the 22-year-old rolled home her’s side fourth with a well-taken finish.
It wasn’t quite the dream debut for Clinton, though, as she lost possession against her former club Spurs, who pulled a goal back through Olivia Holdt’s glorious long-range strike.
But there was enough time for City to add some extra gloss to the scoreline as Coombs came off the bench to fire past Kop and wrap up the three points.
