Manchester City wasted little time in staking their claim as Women's Super League title contenders after comfortably dispatching Everton at Goodison Park.
A first-half blitz saw City score three times in just 12 minutes as last season's WSL runners up swarmed all over a new-look Everton, boasting nine new summer signings.
Vicky Losada struck the opener on debut, before two goals in two minutes from Janine Beckie and fellow debutant Khadija Shaw left the hosts with a mountain to climb.
Captain Steph Houghton added a fourth with a sublime second-half free kick to put the game firmly beyond reach.
