As a new era began at Goodison Park, any Everton women's fans hoping to see a great goal join the long list of iconic strikes scored across 133 years of this famous ground's history were indeed provided with a memorable one. The problem for the home side was that it was scored by a Tottenham player.

Tandberg crashes the Goodison party

When Cathinka Tandberg spotted Courtney Brosnan off her line, as she received the ball 35 yards out, she did not hesitate to attempt the lob, and she would spoil the party for Everton in their first competitive match since making Goodison Park their permanent home. Her first-time strike capped an impressive away performance for Spurs, who made it two wins out of two under their new head coach, Martin Ho.

That ambitious effort, four minutes into the second half, came after Olga Ahtinen slotted Spurs in front 27 minutes into a first half they controlled, with Everton unable to click into gear. Ahtinen's opener came after she won the ball on the edge of the area, played a one-two with Tandberg and slotted low past Brosnan.
