Hat-trick hero Holdt your Player of the Match against Palace
Olivia Holdt scored three of our seven second-half goals in Sunday's emphatic Women's Super League win over Crystal Palace to claim your Player of the Match.
Oli's goals just kept getting better as she broke the deadlock from close range just after half-time, then fired into the roof of the net to double our lead and rounded off her afternoon's work 17 minutes from time with a stunner from outside the box on her first league start of the season.
Our number 11 became our second player to score a WSL hat-trick - after Martha Thomas against Aston Villa in October, 2023) - and opened the floodgates for what was to follow as we added four more to the scoreline following her substitution on 74 minutes.
Victoria Pelova's brace and one from Shekiera Martinez got them up and running in a Spurs shirt plus a maiden goal of the campaign for Amanda Nilden romped home our advantage over 10-player Palace and moved us up to second place on goal difference after three league games.
Since the start of February, only Manchester City striker Khadija Shaw (12) has netted more goals than Oli (eight) in the top flight. It was also her fourth career hat-trick having done so for former sides Hjorring and twice at Rosengard.
Our creative midfielder took 77 per cent of your Player of the Match vote to win the prize in a poll hosted exclusively on our Official App.
