Andy Spence hailed the strength of his Everton Ladies squad after Olivia Chance and Faye Bryson made first starts of the season in Sunday’s 5-0 home win over Brighton and Hove Albion.
The WSL Spring Series success provided a full debut for attacking midfielder Chance, following the New Zealander’s pre-season arrival after a successful trial with Everton Ladies.
Right-back Bryson, meanwhile, was named in the starting XI for the first time in 2017 and went close to getting on the scoresheet when the Academy graduate thumped a shot against the post with the Blues Ladies already 3-0 up.
