LIVERPOOL, England — Canadian international defender Shelina Zadorsky made her debut for Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in a 1-0 loss at Everton in FA Women’s Super League play.

Izzy Christiansen’s 51st-minute header sealed the win for Everton (2-0-0) as Spurs lost their first away fixture of the season.

“Not the performance we wanted today, but we keep building! Honoured to have made my debut with this amazing group,” Zadorsky tweeted. 

Zadorsky, a 27-year-old centre back from London, Ont., who has won 66 caps for Canada, joined Tottenham (0-1-1) in August on loan from the NWSL’s Orlando Pride.
