Angharad James insists it would have been a deserved equaliser had her 87th-minute effort crept under the bar instead of coming back off the frame of the goal on Wednesday night.

And she came within the width of the woodwork to restoring parity – and opening her Blue Girls account in some style.
“I just thought to myself, ‘Let’s just go for it’,” James told evertonfc.
