Ashleigh Neville has praised the class and expertise of new signings Beth England and Mana Iwabuchi following Tottenham Hotspur’s 5-0 win over London City Lionesses in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday afternoon.
England and Iwabuchi helped ignite Spurs’ second-highest win of the season with their respective first-half goals, which gave Rehanne Skinner’s side a 2-0 lead heading into the interval.
The goals marked England’s second in three appearances while it was Iwabuchi’s first since her shock move to the north London club, on loan from Arsenal, and both showed welcome moments of ruthlessness in front of goal - a situation that has frustratingly eluded Spurs of late.
