Eleanor Heeps is continuing to shine in North London with Tottenham Women.

Robert Vilahamn's side continued their upturn in form with Beth England once again among the goals in a 1-1 Barclays Women's Super League draw with Brighton Women at Broadfield Stadium on Saturday [14 December].

England's goal in the 75th minute was cancelled out by Marisa Olislagers' strike seven minutes later. However, while the forward made an impact at one end of the pitch, the real star of the show for Spurs was Heeps, who once again impressed between the sticks.

Spurs' draw at Brighton leaves them sixth in the WSL and unbeaten in four matches, with Heeps' display to thank for the point.

Heeps has started all three matches since making her Tottenham debut in the 1-0 Women's League Cup group stage victory over Aston Villa Women at Brisbane Road [23 November].

She is yet to be on the losing side in that time, with Brighton's goal just the second she has conceded.

And despite not being able to keep a clean sheet, it would be difficult to fault Heeps after her largely flawless display. As per Sofascore, the 21-year-old made eight saves, with five of those coming from shots faced from inside the box.

In addition, Heeps displayed her dominance by making three punches and one high claim. She also managed to make three clearances and help her defenders out.

On the ball, she completed 78 per cent of her passes and played seven accurate long balls forward.

It was yet another near-flawless display which would have delighted Vilahamn.

And as long as Heeps continues to perform this way, it is hard to see her being dropped anytime soon.
