I just watched the highlights, and that scoreline actually flattered the spuds. That was an absolute slaughter!

If it wasn't for their keeper it would have been 9 or 10 to nil. It was like amateur hour with their outfield players. I don't remember the last time I saw such poor positioning and marking from players.

That last goal from Fox though, that one was an unstoppable rocket. The best of the bunch.

There's still nothing better than massacring Spurs!

I found some decent fan footage of Emily Fox's goal.

Looks like Kim Little had a ball to McCabe that might have had her 1 on 1 with the 'keeper, but then we wouldn't have had the Emily Fox thunderbastard. Such a short back lift. You can see Russo (I think) shout at her to shoot and Little pointing to top bins and Emily obliged.

Great cross for the first goal from KCC, and I thought she was great in the rest of general play until she got subbed. Unfortunately, I don't think it counts as an assist. It was interesting to look at the Sofascore ratings/stats though.

Mariona's goal is also a work of art in the way she got to the rebound from her blocked shot and stabbed the ball outside of the defenders.

Russo was clinical in her finish.

The team hardly put a foot wrong. On the other hand Spurs were so feeble, on another day, we may have had a few more!

So I very much overslept this, oops

What a wonderful result.

They are forever in our shadows, both on the men and the women's sides.
