Tottenham Women star who set up third goal in 12 minutes also scores in dominant 6-0 World Cup play off win

Julie Blakstad delivered a goal and an assist on Tuesday night to help Norway cruise past Romania in their World Cup play-off tie.

Tottenham Hotspur Women defender Julie Blakstad had a night to remember as Norway defeated Romania 6-0 to advance 8-0 on aggregate. Blakstad set up Elisabeth Terland after twelve minutes before heading home from close range with twenty minutes left. Goalkeeper Selma Panengstuen came on at half-time for her second cap. Cathinka Tandberg also featured off the bench. With the win secured, Norway will now face Wales in November.

Matilda Vinberg was also in fine form as Sweden beat Lithuania 10-0 in Solna. After picking up an assist on Friday, the Spurs attacker played the full match and set up Amanda Ilestedt for Sweden’s tenth goal. Teammate Amanda Nilden came on at the break and played the entire second half. Sweden will now face fellow Tottenham star Kirsty Hanson and Scotland next month.

Kirsty Hanson And Dutch Trio Progress Ahead Of November Ties

Hanson helped Scotland arrange that meeting with Sweden after beating the Czech Republic 3-2 in Paisley for a 5-2 aggregate win. After falling behind early, she set up Lauren Davidson for the equaliser two minutes later before second-half goals sealed the victory. Elsewhere, Eveliina Summanen played 83 minutes as Finland beat Serbia 3-1 to book a tie with Italy.

Meanwhile, Lize Kop and Victoria Pelova played 90 minutes as the Netherlands beat Hungary 3-0 to take an 11-0 aggregate lead. Caitlin Dijkstra was an unused substitute for the Dutch ahead of their tie with Slovenia. Two more Spurs players met in a friendly. Toko Koga started and played the full match for Japan against Germany. However, the hosts came back from behind to win 2-1. Tottenham forward Shekiera Martinez came on for Germany in stoppage time to help see out the win before returning to Hotspur Way.
