Martin Ho’s first game in charge of Tottenham ended in a celebratory mood as Bethany England’s late penalty gave the north London side a slender but valuable victory in their season opener against West Ham.
For large parts of the contest, during which the opposing goalkeepers generally had little to do, it had looked as though the teams might play out a goalless draw, but Katrina Gorry fouled Eveliina Summanen inside the area to present the home side with a chance to win the game on 86 minutes, and England tucked her spot-kick into the right-hand corner.
