Tottenham put on a clinical display to get back to winning ways as they stuck four past Birmingham City to end a three-game losing streak in the Women's Super League.

Julie Blakstad opened the scoring in the first half before two goals in three second-half minutes from Olivia Holdt and Signe Gaupset put the Blues to the sword, while Victoria Pelova added a late fourth.

It was a timely victory for Spurs, which moved them up to fourth in the table, after a run of three defeats saw them concede 14 goals against Arsenal, Chelsea and London City Lionesses.

Birmingham started well with Oceane Hurtre firing just wide early on before Lee Geum-Min saw a shot tipped onto the bar by Tottenham keeper Lize Kop.

Spurs, who had started the season with three wins and a draw before their losing run, soon settled and Matilda Vinberg cracked an effort off the underside of the bar after a scramble in the area.

Martin Ho's side did get the lead in the 37th minute after Birmingham again failed to clear their lines.

Gaupset's lob was pushed down by Blues keeper Sophie Baggaley but Cathinka Tandberg calmly collected the ball and then did not panic as she controlled it before teeing up Blakstad to finish.

Olivia Holdt's fine free-kick doubled their lead as the Spurs forward curled home from the edge of the area in the 50th minute.

Three minutes later, Gaupset arrowed a shot into the bottom corner for Tottenham before Birmingham defender Neve Herron got what turned out to be a consolation when she cleverly turned home a corner at the near post.

Pelova got the fourth for Spurs with a low strike inside the area in the 84th minute to dismiss any chances of a comeback from Birmingham.

The hosts hit the bar in stoppage time but their unbeaten home record has now gone.
