On This Day: Longhurst heads in iconic goal against Spurs

Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history.

'Av some of that' is a phrase that has stuck with Kate Longhurst ever since she scored a memorable equaliser against Tottenham Hotspur on 16 January 2022. 

Two years ago today, with the Hammers losing 1-0 against London rival Spurs at The Hive, Longhurst got on the end of a looping cross from Dagný Brynjarsdóttir and headed past former teammate Becky Spencer to share the spoils. 

The West Ham fan couldn't contain her delight, running over to the Sky Sports cameras to shout 'av some of that' down the lens to those watching at home!

The point would ultimately contribute towards a sixth place finish in the Barclays Women's Super League that season, the team's highest ever finish in the top division. 

Longhurst left her beloved West Ham in the summer of 2023, and currently features for Charlton Athletic in the Barclays Championship.
