Aston Villa Tops Tottenham 3-2 with Late Winner

Aston Villa clinched a dramatic 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Barclays Women’s Super League, thanks to Kirsty Hanson's stoppage-time winner. Villa took a two-goal lead through Anna Patten and Ebony Salmon, but Tottenham fought back with quick goals from Jess Naz and Ella Morris to level the game late on. Despite Spurs’ momentum and the return of top scorer Bethany England from injury, defensive errors and missed opportunities cost them, extending their winless run and putting their top-six hopes at risk. The win moves Aston Villa seven points clear of the relegation zone, all but securing their WSL status for another season. Meanwhile, Tottenham’s inability to capitalize on possession and their ongoing April winless streak highlight their struggles. Villa’s victory underscores their ruthlessness on the counterattack and ability to punish defensive lapses.
