Goalscorer Chaney Boye-Hlorkah says it is a sign of Everton’s progress that they left Manchester City frustrated after a sterling performance went unrewarded on Wednesday night.
The Centre of Excellence graduate hooked a loose ball into an empty net on 12 minutes, with the Toffees holding on to their lead with a resolute defensive display until half-time.
But a minute and 20 seconds into the second period, City’s England midfielder Kiera Walsh lashed in the equaliser, before Janine Beckie nodded the unbeaten WSL leaders in front.
Former Blue Girl Nikita Parris then hit a late third to add gloss to the scoreline.
