Holdt scores hat-trick as Spurs beat Palace 7-0

Tottenham Women secured a 7‑0 victory over Crystal Palace Women at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, with striker Olivia Holdt delivering a hat‑trick. The Spurs opened the scoring early, but the decisive period came in the second half when they netted seven goals, overwhelming the Palace side that was forced to play with ten men after a red card in the 31st minute. Holdt’s three goals, complemented by a brace from teammate Emily Smith and a late strike from midfielder Maya Larkin, gave Tottenham a comprehensive win.

The result marks Crystal Palace’s first defeat since their promotion to the Women’s Super League last season, a stark contrast to the team’s unbeaten run in the early part of the campaign. Tottenham’s performance, highlighted by a disciplined defense and swift counter‑attacks, underscored their growing consistency in the top flight. Meanwhile, Palace’s injury crisis and the loss of a key defender left the side vulnerable, contributing to the heavy scoreline. The match will likely influence both teams’ standings as they head into the final stretch of the season.
