Everton Ladies goalkeeper Lizzie Durack admits unrewarded performances have become “the story of our season” after another excellent display against Chelsea left the Toffees empty-handed.
Like they have done all term, the Blue Girls showed no fear in going toe-to-toe with one of the strongest sides in WSL 1, with Chelsea sitting just two points off league leaders Manchester City.
Everton could have been leading at the break had Hedvig Lindahl not got her fingertips to Chloe Kelly’s free-kick or Courtney Sweetman-Kirk’s penalty not come back off the post.
The hosts then stepped it up in the second period and finally broke through a stubborn Toffees rearguard when Jonna Andersson lashed home the winner.
