West Ham United Women's boss Paul Konchesky was a happy man after his side’s 2-0 away victory over London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and for good reason.
The victory – an emphatic Jekyll and Hyde performance capped off with a 60-yard dash and chip from returning defender Hawa Cissoko – and marked the Hammers fifth league victory, their seventh in all competitions, and waved goodbye to 2022 with a bang.
West Ham sit fifth in the league table heading into the second leg of the Women's Super League season, just four points behind Manchester City, and is arguably the surprise of the season. With wholesale changes to the squad (10 incomings, 10 departures) and a new manager at the helm – albeit, Konchesky was former manager Olli Harder’s assistant – meant the Hammers were the season’s question mark.
