Andy Spence believes Everton Ladies’ clean sheet against Liverpool represents a “good start” in his side’s bid to compete with the country’s best teams.
The Blue Girls’ pre-season clash with their Merseyside rivals ended in stalemate, although Simone Magill and Angharad James, twice, came close to breaking the deadlock after half-time.
Rhiannon Roberts’ had Liverpool Ladies’ best attempt when she thudded the crossbar with a blockbuster shot from distance midway through the second half.
“I was really pleased with the display, both with and without the ball,” Spence told evertontv.
