The game was scrappy at the start and it took fifteen minutes for Spurs to settle and take the lead through Sasha Kelly.  Fifteen minutes later, Becky Shephard was put through on goal and beat the keeper to double Tottenham's lead.

Lekisha Wilson came on at half-time to make her debut, replacing Jenny Curtis and slotted into the solid Spurs back four. 

Spurs were passing the ball with more confidence and some neat work released Molly Kmita on the wing.  Molly picked out Becky's run and her finish made the score 3-0.  But Fulham were not rolling over and pressurised the Spurs defence into a rash tackle and they were awarded a penalty, which was converted to pull the score back to 3-1.

Molly had to be replaced when she picked up an injury and Catherine Dalton came on in her place, as the side played out the remainder of the game to record an opening 3-1 win.

Rosie Carter opened the scoring in style with a stunning left footed low strike from outside the area which set the tempo for the next 20 minutes as the team would go onto score all five goals in that time period.

Just three minutes later some great combination play and movement from Becky Shephard found her with space to pick out Sara on the far post, whose courageousness earned her yet another goal where she was able to keep her
wits about her and slot if past the keeper despite getting clattered shortly after.

Moments after scoring the second, the Reserves were on the score-sheet again with Sasha Kelly creating space for herself inside the area and showed great technique to bend her shot around her defender and the keeper and into the far right corner of the goal. 3-0.

Spurs continued the deluge of goals with quick combination play on the edge of the penalty area with a ball back to Becky Shephard who from outside the area was able to bend her shot also around a crowd of defenders and again
the keeper again with a finish even Modric would have been proud of.

The scoring was capped off by great teamwork for the the fifth goal with clever passing in the final third, Sasha picking up the ball outside the area, linking with Chrissie Oshodi, who provided her with a great one-two pass for Sasha's second of the game as she got in behind the back four to slot it past the keeper.

Some great passing and movement from central midfielders Rosie Carter and captain Gill Blackmore were essential to the start of most of the teams attacks in a first half that was a wonderful collective team effort.

Spurs continued to create chances in the second half with shots from Chrissie and Sam Chase hitting the crossbar. The Reserves also welcomed Steph back to the squad, who had a solid first appearance of 2012 following an injury last year.

The game also saw yet another clean sheet for the stingy back four of Dom, Karen, Cece, Jen and goalkeepers Nathtalya and Alice who have conceded just one goal in the last four games and as a group are proving extremely
difficult to score against.
