    Everton

    In a statement, Everton's Aggie Beever-Jones has apologised to Arsenal's Lia Walti for her red-card challenge which caused injury in their earlier 4-1 defeat.

    Beever-Jones, 19, said she is "absolutely devastated" to have received a red card and that is was an "unintentionally reckless challenge".

    "Most importantly, I meant no harm to Lia," she added.

    "That's not the way I would have ever wanted to end my loan at a brilliant football club.

    "Thank you for everything this season."

    West Ham just need to be calm when they win back possession, they just look so chaotic when they eventually get hold of it.

    Emma Snerle could be the one to help with that.
