The brilliant Denmark international claimed another accolade following a match-winning performance for the North Londoners at Broadfield Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur witnessed a special run of form from one of their most creative attacking talents. Olivia Holdt successfully claimed her second Player of the Match award of the campaign following a magnificent display on Wednesday night. The Lilywhites travelled to Crawley and secured a crucial victory against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Subway Players Cup.

Following an incredibly frantic opening half hour where both sides wasted golden opportunities, the visiting team desperately needed a moment of pure magic. The decisive breakthrough finally arrived just nine minutes before the interval. Victoria Pelova initiated some fantastic build-up play to find her teammate in a highly dangerous position.
The Denmark international then produced a perfectly placed curling shot that nestled beautifully inside the far post. That solitary brilliant strike ultimately proved the entire difference on the night as the North Londoners recorded their first win of the current competition phase.

Creative Midfielder Continues Incredible Scoring Form
The winning goal takes her impressive attacking tally to four strikes in just six matches across all competitions this season. Holdt recently picked up her first individual award during the emphatic 7-0 league demolition of Crystal Palace. She remarkably netted a stunning hat-trick during that dominant fixture to become only the second player in club history to score three goals in a single top-tier league match.
