    Leicester 1-0 Everton

    That's it.

    Leicester claim a second successive win to start the WSL season.

    Visitors Everton enjoyed good spells in the game, they missed a penalty just before half-time and were denied twice by the offside flag.

    Yet it was not enough to earn a share of the points. Two losses from two games for the Toffees.

    Leicester 1-0 Everton

    Jutta Rantala takes a speculative shot on from around thirty yards out and her effort drops just beyond the crossbar.

    That would have been quite a spectacular way to seal the three points for Leicester.

    Getting towards last chance saloon territory for the Toffees.

    They've begun to utilise the renowned long throwing abilities of substitute Megan Campbell as a means of getting the ball into the box.

    Tough tests for both of these sides up next.

    Leicester travel to face Manchester United and Everton have the small matter of the Merseyside derby... At Anfield.

    Triple change for the visitors.

    Striker Toni Duggan replaces Emma Bissell, while Megan Campbell and Clare Wheeler also come on in place of Justine Vanhaevermaet and Lucy Hope.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:49 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Everton boss Brian Sorensen is booked for protesting that decision.

  10. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Leicester 1-0 Everton

    So near yet so far for Everton!

    Emma Bissell is left with her head in her hands after her close range tap in is ruled out by the offside flag.

    Looked to be a very harsh call on second viewing.

    Into the final ten minutes of this contest.

    Everton still pushing for an equaliser but they seem to have lost that attacking spark with which they began the half so strongly.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:41 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Leicester 1-0 Everton

    A defensive change for the home side, CJ Bott comes on in place of Josie Green.

    Foxes boss Willie Kirk is clearly keen on suring up at the back and protecting that slender one goal advantage.

    If the Foxes can hold onto this result here, they will remain as the only team to hold a 100% record in the WSL after two games.

    Liverpool could join them on six points later when they host Aston Villa.

    Lena Petermann (70 mins)

    Lena Petermann with her second goal in as many games!

    The forward latched onto a through ball from Sam Tierney and beautifully lofted the ball over the advancing Emily Ramsey in the Everton goal.

    What a start she has made to her Foxes career!
