Football is defined by a series of moments. An inch here and there, a tackle that is a second too late, a ball that flies agonisingly wide of its target. In the 58th minute, Tottenham took their moment superbly, a goal from Martha Thomas capitalising on the rare occasion they were able to break through Arsenal’s press. It earned them their first win in a north London derby.
It should end up as one of the team goals of this season, an all-encompassing move that ended with Thomas knee-sliding in front of her delighted fans. It took six passes from back to front before the Scotland striker poked past Manuela Zinsberger for her seventh goal of the season.
