Everton signed France forward Kelly Gago for an undisclosed fee from Nantes in January
Everton reached the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup with a hard-fought victory over last season's finalists Tottenham.
In a match with few chances, the hosts broke the deadlock in the 48th minute when January signing Kelly Gago scored her first goal for the club with a clinical finish into the top corner from Sara Holmgaard's cross.
Tottenham struggled to deal with Everton's pace and the Toffees dealt a final blow in the 90th minute when Heather Payne drilled into the bottom right corner from outside the box.
Victory means Everton will face five-time winners Chelsea in the fifth round on Sunday, 9 February.
All four of Wednesday's ties had initially been postponed earlier this month because of inclement weather across the country.
Fellow Women's Super League side Brighton, meanwhile, earned their spot in a fifth-round tie against Aston Villa with a composed 4-1 win against second-tier Durham.
The Seagulls were in control from the beginning, with Bruna Vilamala turning home at the back post to open the scoring in the sixth minute. Michelle Agyemang then netted a penalty and Guro Bergsvand converted from close range after a Vilamala shot was pushed on to the crossbar to extend their lead.
Durham did not give up despite going in 3-0 down at the break and made the most of Brighton's timid start to the second half when Hannah Blake combined with fellow substitute Kaila Novak to send a low cross past Meliana Loeck.
The goal only ever seemed likely to serve as consolation for Durham and even they conceded again with the last kick of the game when Nikita Parris tapped in a from close range after the visitors failed to Brighton's efforts from a corner.

Arsenal and Liverpool both hit five

Arsenal will face Championship side London City Lionesses in the fifth round
Arsenal, who have won the competition a record 14 times, cruised into the fifth round with a dominant 5-0 triumph over Championship side Bristol City.
Stina Blackstenius opened the scoring in just the third minute by tapping in a low Beth Mead delivery before Frida Maanum extended their lead after eight minutes when Robins goalkeeper Jackie Burns dropped her effort from the edge of the box.
Blackstenius then got her second of the evening as she expertly curled an effort into the far corner from outside the area before Mead made it four by nodding home a Maanum cross from close range.
Arsenal continued to control the game in the second half and, although not as potent in the final third as before the break, netted a fifth when a Mead cross dipped over Burns at the near post.
Liverpool thrashed 10-player West Ham 5-0 to set-up a tie with third-tier Rugby Borough.
Matt Beard's side scored inside three minutes when West Ham defender Camila Saez deflected a corner into her own goal and doubled their lead 15 minutes later, Leanne Kiernan rounding goalkeeper Megan Walsh and slotting home from a tight angle following a rapid counter-attack from Olivia Smith.
West Ham thought they had equalised between Liverpool's goals, but Viviane Asseyi's header was chalked off for offside. The half went from bad to worse for the hosts when Amber Tysiak received a red card for a late tackle on Taylor Hinds.
Liverpool capitalised on their player advantage in the second half, with Grace Fisk and Sam Kerr scoring from corners either side of a breakaway shot from Lucy Parry to wrap up an emphatic victory.
