London City Lionesses Hit Six To End Tottenham’s Unbeaten Start

London City Lionesses delivered a dominant away performance on Sunday, beating Tottenham 6-1 at BetWright Stadium as Alexia Putellas and Kadidiatou Diani each scored twice.

Putellas, a two-time Ballon d’Or winner and four-time Women’s Champions League champion with Barcelona, claimed her first WSL brace since joining from Spain in the summer. Having scored her first league goal in last week’s 2-0 win over Brighton, she opened the scoring after only three minutes. Lize Kop kept out Grace Geyoro’s attempt, but Putellas reacted quickest and finished the rebound with her left foot.

Diani made it 2-0 in the 22nd minute, converting after a sharp move involving Freya Godfrey and Lucia Corrales. Putellas then added her second and London City’s third in the 34th minute, firing into the roof of the net after Danielle van de Donk reached the byeline on the left and cut the ball back.
