4TH ROUND WOMENS FA CUP
EVERTON WOMEN 1 LONDON BEES 0
Everton Women began there campaign in the Womens FA Cup today against a team that Everton have had big wins verse when they have played them the last 4 games winning 4-0, 4-3, 5-1 and 7-1, three of those games were away and that 4-3 win Everton were 3-1 down with 15 to go, at the minute London Bees are 5th in the championship a bit of the way behind 3rd/4th, Taylor Hinds and Inessa Kaagman came in for Dan Turner and Maeva Clemaron, who were both on the bench in the only 2 changes with still no sign of star signing Izzy Christiansen who is still recovering from a knock that she picked up or Hayley Raso
Everton had the 1st chance of the game on 6mins when Taylor Hinds played in Magill, who found some space in the box but her shot was well blocked by Georgia Roberts, on 13mins Everton again went close when from a fantastic ball from Gabby George that found Boye-Hlorkah in the box she had acres of space but London Bees keeper Sarah Quantrill was quick off her line to get in the way of the shot point blank range. then in the space of 30seconds Everton somehow failed to take the lead on 21mins when Boye-Hlorkah saw a powerful shot blocked on the line, 2 other shots were the blocked again on the line before a goalmouth scramble ensues and Boye-Hlorkah saw another effort go agonisingly wide, surely it was a matter of time till Everton scored, on 29 Everton then hit the post from Boye-Hlorkah's cross from the right which deceived everyone in the box, It came back into the path of Magill but she was under too much pressure to get any meaningful contact on the ball. on 33mins Sarah Quantrill made another great save diving to her left from Chloe Kelly who spinning on the edge of the area, unleashes a trademark effort, Finally the goal that Everton deserved the whole half arrived right on HT when Inessa Kaagman took aim from 30 yards and it flew in off the post for Everton women to go in 1-0 up in a game they were dominant and unlucky not to be at least 3/4 up at HT
The 2nd half began like the 1st and Everton had the ball in the net when Chloe Kelly scored via a header but the linesman had his flag up for offside prompting sarcastic "VAR" chants from one man in the crowd, Courtnay Ward-Chambers had shot go wide for London Bees in a very rare chance on 55mins, Boye-Hlorkah then had a tame shot easy for the London Bees keeper on 61mins,and not for the 1st time on 67 Everton were close when Chloe Kelly went round the Bees keeper and squared the ball back for Molly Pike, whose effort is tipped around the post by Quantrill. on 73mins a Kaagman shot was well over before a kelly shot from 20 yards went wide on 75mins, then on 76mins a Lucy Graham shot took a massive deflection but lucky for London Bee's it dropped right into the keepers hands, Dan Turner on 81 was the next to have a shot saved by the Bee's Keeper, Everton's 18th shot of the game then had the woodwork rattled again when Kelly saw her shot deflected onto the post from 25 Yards on 86mins while right from that Whinnett shot into the keepers hands the other end,but the game ended 1-0 Everotn who were so on top and the 1-0 win did not tell the story in a game everton should have won by 5 or 6 but been in the draw tomorrow is what counts with the 5th round been played on sunday 16th feb
