Dario Vidosic shouts out instructions

Dario Vidosic admitted he was disappointed not to go into the mid-season break with three points after his team were held by Spurs.

Marisa Olislagers’ first goal for the club ten minutes from time cancelled out Beth England’s opener five minutes earlier as Albion drew 1-1 with Spurs at the Broadfield Stadium to stay fifth in the WSL.

“I'm disappointed that we didn't win to be honest,” said head coach Vidosic. “If we put a good performance together then usually that will take care of the results.

“I felt it was a little bit of a game of two halves. It wasn’t necessarily that Tottenham were better than us in the second half. I still think we probably created a little bit more and maybe could have the winner at the end. At the start of the second we half just lost that little bit of control which may have been down to fatigue. We have had three games in six days with 13 outfield players so it’s credit to the girls the way they kept going.

“I liked how we played in the first half. We were quite dominant and created the chances and probably didn't get the goal that we deserved.

“In the second half we probably chased it a little bit too much and that plays into their hands with their transition threats. We didn't deal with their goal well. Beth England is a great finisher. If you give her a chance, she'll punish you. But I thought it was a terrific response.

“Mo scored a fantastic goal and then then we had a couple more chances at the end. Overall, though, I think a lot of positives and a good point, but we're probably sad that it's probably not three.”
