WSL: Ruthless Everton see off Crystal Palace

There are two WSL fixtures to enjoy today, before the other eight clubs face off on Sunday.

Here's what happened.

Clinical Everton see off Crystal Palace

Scorers: Vanhaevermaet 43', Holmgaard 46'

Everton struck either side of half time and with almost the last kick of the game to register a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.

It seemed like the two sides would go in at the break with the scores goalless, but just before the whistle blew, Justine Vanhaevermaet rose highest to put the Toffees ahead.

As the teams came out for the second half, Everton doubled their advantage, this time Sara Holmgaard heading home following a superb passage of attacking play.

The win was well and truly sealed when Kelly Gago added Everton's third deep into second half stoppage time.

The win moves the Toffees up to seventh place in the table, while Palace remain rock bottom of the league.

Still to come...
