Everton moved up to seventh in the Barclays WSL with a confident performance on Merseyside. Their 3-0 win over Crystal Palace – thanks to goals from Justine Vanhaevermaet, Sara Holmgaard and Kelly Gago – was only beaten by a pitchside proposal as Rikke Madsen’s boyfriend got down on one knee.
West Ham capped off a positive week with a composed 2-0 victory at home to Everton. Shekiera Martinez and Viviane Asseyi both struck in the first half to give Rehanne Skinner’s side some breathing room from the relegation battle.
“It feels great because the players have worked so hard. They’ve had a tough year. I don’t think there’s any hiding from that – the league table certainly doesn’t lie. I feel like they’ve really tried to come together, and they’ve done so well.”
There was a big sigh of relief from Everton’s Chris Roberts as his side earned their first league win since the end of November. It was a vital victory as they edged past Aston Villa on Wednesday night, leap-frogging Leicester City and extending the gap from the bottom to ten points.
There have been many surprises in the Barclays FAWSL this season, but the development of Birmingham City has certainly been one of them.

They produced another shock on Sunday afternoon, earning a valuable point away to Everton.

Every so often, you come across a footballer who encapsulates the lot. Jill Scott is one such individual – a skilled but tough opponent on the field with an undeniably engaging and infectious nature off it.
This 2019/20 Vitality FA Women’s Cup Final understandably had a totally different feel to it. Wembley Way was without its throng of fans and the expectant buzz. Wembley echoed with the emptiness; the sounds focused on the discussions of players and coaches as the teams warmed up.
Everton started the season on the front foot with a comfortable win over Bristol City.
