When Arsenal loanee Gio Queiroz rifled the ball home to rubber stamp Everton's Women's Super League victory over Tottenham in December, it felt like Spurs had reached a new low.
Rehanne Skinner's side have spent much of the campaign vying with the Toffees to be the 'best of the rest' outside of the league's conventional top four and yet, on that bleak Wednesday evening at Brisbane Road, Everton were able to exploit all of their host's deficiencies as they romped to a 3-0 win. The fact that the win was sealed by one of Arsenal's most exciting young assets only further compounded the misery.
The result marked Tottennham's fourth consecutive league defeat, with the Lilywhites having failed to register a single goal while conceding nine during that period. In fact, Spurs went into the winter break boasting the joint-third worst goalscoring return in the league, having found the net just 11 times so far this term (with eight of those goals coming in one game).
