Brian Sorensen said he felt there were more goals in his Everton team, but won't have expected it coming from a mix-up involving the home defence and England goalkeeper Mary Earps.

Earps was left furious with her defenders and Everton, the lowest scorers in the league, strike first to largely quiet the home fans.

Meanwhile, Sorensen was absolutely delighted, and the goal came just after Kathrine Moller Kuhl's strike had clipped the post following an excellent burst through the middle of the pitch from Justine Vanhaevermaet.

There had been plenty of encouragement for the United support before the goal, with Nikita Parris firing just wide after Lisa Naalsund had done excellently to win the ball 30 yards from goal.

You get the feeling there are plenty more goals in this one though, as it's so open.

That's better from Geyse.

Close! Ella Toone tries to test the Everton goalkeeper from distance, but her powerful effort doesn't hit the target.

Everton can't make the most of that chance.

Heather Payne races down the wing, but her delivery into the middle is too far in front of Katja Snoeijs.

That's just Everton striker Katja Snoeijs' second goal of the season in the WSL.

United are probing.

Lisa Naalsund is slipped through down the right-hand side and starts a lovely move, cutting the ball back to Katie Zelem on the edge of the Everton box.

The United captain's shoots over the crossbar.

Everton go up the other end and have a chance almost immediately.

Kathrine Kuhl's strike goes wide of the far post.

Oooh.

Nikita Parris has already scored give goal against Everton this season and she's eager to add to that tally.

She fires just wide of the top corner from the edge of the area after a neat piece of footwork from Lisa Naalsund.

The hosts have had the better of the early chances but are yet to really threaten Courtney Brosnan.

A Geyse pass towards Nikita Parris lacks power and is intercepted by the Everton defence.
