The London City Lionesses celebrated a 6-1 win over Tottenham in their Women's Super League game on Sunday. Coach Eder Maestre sees this victory as a possible turning point for his team.
Captain Alexia Putellas and France international Kadidiatou Diani scored twice each, while Danielle van de Donk and Delphine Cascarino also scored for the Londoners.
London City were already leading 3-0 at half-time. Putellas scored her two goals in the 3rd and 34th minutes. The Spaniard also scored in the 2-0 win over Brighton last week, scoring her second WSL goal of the season.
In total, the 29-year-old Putellas has collected 49 scorer points in her last 50 competitive games for club and national team (28 goals, 21 assists).

Spurs coach Martin Hoch disappointed with his team
Tottenham's Londoners were undefeated in second place in the table before this game with 10 points from 4 games, but now suffered a heavy defeat.
Tottenham coach Martin Ho was not at all satisfied with his team's performance: "Very weak, that was unacceptable for us as a team. We didn't win the first and second balls, we were weak in the duels. We have to work on it now. Everyone in the team has to claim that for themselves, and it starts with me. We just weren't up to speed and you can't perform like that. We don't want to concede six goals."
There were also clear victories in the WSL's other Sunday games: Brighton won 5-1 against pointless bottom team Charlton, and Chelsea beat West Ham 3-0.
What happens next
With 12 points from five games, the London City Lionesses have a promising starting position in the Women Super League. The next step will be to maintain form and focus on the upcoming games to consolidate their position in the table. The players, especially Alexia Putellas and Kadidiatou Diani, must continue to show consistently good performances in order to make the season successful.
