BBC Sport at Walton Hall ParkThis has not been a comfortable afternoon for Chelsea who have been made to work hard for the points.
But Pernille Harder's double on her return from injury is just the tonic absent boss Emma Hayes needed as she looked on from home.
Chelsea's thoughts now turn to the Champions League group stage and another tough examination away to Paris St-Germain on Thursday.

Niamh Charles (90+5 mins)
Game. Set. Match.
Chelsea ruthlessly punish Everton on the counter and seal the three points.
Substitute Niamh Charles harries the Everton defence as she wins possession near the halfway line, shrugs off a challenge or two before confidently burying a low shot into the bottom corner.

Plenty of stoppage time in Manchester, too.
Manchester City can't find the second they have probably deserved after a dominant first-half performance.
Credit to Leicester though, they have defended for their lives.
Khadija Shaw's header separates the two teams at the break.

Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool
Matt Beard will be thankful that his Liverpool side are only one goal down at the break.
Tottenham have completely dominated the game, Liverpool haven't even managed a shot and have only had two touches in Spurs' box, but they still have a chance to get back into this game.
Spurs will be wanting to extent their lead when they come back from the break.

Into the final 10 minutes at Walton Hall Park...
Everton not yet looking as though they have enough cutting edge to find an equaliser.
Lauren James is fortunate to escape with just a telling off after hacking down a Chelsea opponent.
