Everton Ladies Head Coach Andy Spence understandably had mixed feelings after seeing his team lose a classic ‘game of two halves.’
The Blue Girls were second best in the opening 45 minutes and went two goals behind through Ellen White and Charlie Wellings.
But a Chloe Kelly goal straight after the break sparked a revival that could - and perhaps should - have brought at least a point.
“I was delighted with the second half performance but we were very, very disappointing in the first half,” said Spence.
“We were one or two yards off in all parts of our game – defensively and offensively we were slow, laboured in possession and lacking in confidence.
