Dutch goalkeeper Lize Kop made her debut for Tottenham in their 1-0 victory over Leicester on Sunday.

Kop, 26, signed a three-and-a-half year contract with Spurs on Wednesday and after leaving the Foxes, was thrown straight into the starting line-up against her former side.

While Tottenham won thanks to a goal in the fourth minute, it was Leicester who had most of the shots and chances.

Kop had a quiet game but did what was required, making two saves to keep out efforts on goal from Ruby Mace and Missy Goodwin.

A debut cleansheet was also aided by Foxes captain Janice Cayman, who steered wide when presented an empty net six yards from goal in the first half.

Spurs’ new number one struggled for minutes in the first half of the season at Leicester.

Janina Leitzig, the woman who kept Kop out of the team at Leicester this term, was the deciding factor in the match for the wrong reasons. Her attempted block with her foot to stop Amanda Nilden’s cross gave Spurs their goal and subsequently, the three points.

Like Kop, Leitzig had very little to do in the match with Tottenham not registering a shot until the 74th minute, but the result did pin on her misfortune.
