Albion women’s head coach Hope Powell was pleased with her side’s performance in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League and praised her side’s resilience to come back to secure a point.
Albion led through Rikke Sevekke’s early own goal, but found themselves 2-1 down before battling back for a draw thanks to a goal from Aileen Whelan.
Powell said, “I’m really happy. The point is a good result for us. We wanted to win the game, but it was a tough contest for both sides. I thought we contained them very well. We went ahead but I’m pleased with the comeback at the end to make it 2-2.”
Everton had a 100% record going into the match and Powell believes that her side can take a lot of heart from their performance going into a 17-day break until their next match.
“The goal put us on the front foot early on and gave us a lot of confidence but I think generally the way we played that we will take a lot of heart from that into the next games,” added Powell.
“Everton are towards the top of the league for a reason and they are strong in all areas, but we kept going and managed to get the draw. I think it was a strong performance.
"It’s quite nice to come off the back of a good performance to get a point going into a break. We have a few knocks and bruises so the break now will give those players time to rest and recover, then we go again in a couple of weeks.”
