Tottenham Hotspur Women's manager Rehanne Skinner hailed her side’s newfound clinical rotation in their 5-1 victory over Coventry United in the FA Women’s Cup on Sunday and believes the performance places her team in good stead for a return to the Women’s Super League after a disappointing defeat to Chelsea.
Goals from Eveliina Summanen, Rosella Ayane, Kerys Harrop, Amy Turner and debutante Lenna Gunning-Williams helped to seal a dominant performance and extend Spurs’ perfect cup run to top Group E with six points from six.
The rotational depth was on full display, with Skinner making four changes to the side that began last weekend’s loss to Chelsea in Chioma Ubogagu, Rosella Ayane, Kerys Harrop and Gracie Pearse for Shelina Zadorsky, Asmita Ale, Celin Bizet and Ashleigh Neville. Harrop’s start marked a first return in seven months due to injury, while Pearse was relishing a first start in a Spurs shirt.
