SENA Wogormebu scored on her debut for Islington Borough FC as they took on Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs took an early lead with a simple tap-in but Wogormebu kept a cool head to score just before half-time.

Keeper Darcy Collings kept Islington in the match with some fine saves as Spurs upped the pressure at the restart. And Chloe Copsey’s jinking runs behind the Spurs defence paid off as she bagged a brace for Katee Hui’s team on Sunday. But Spurs rattled in five more goals in the second-half to end the game 6-3 and book their place in the next round.
