Skinner: Why Rolfo can be an effective No. 9

The two goals were her first in the WSL, but her fourth and fifth across all competitions, having also netted in Europe against Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Wolfsburg.

“She’s come from, obviously Barça, different style league, and for Sweden she plays on the wing, so I think we can adapt and evolve her game in which, you know, we are finding that out together,” Skinner continued.

The boss also observed that Spurs changing formation towards the end, dropping into a back five in an effort to squeeze the space and hold onto the lead, gave Rolfo her in. “It allowed us higher territory and basically pushes Frido in to create that second nine – and that’s where she’s deadly.”
