Everton 1-3 Arsenal

Arsenal secured a second successive Women's Super League win after beating Everton 3-1 with Republic of Ireland captain Katie McCabe opened scoring in the 11th minute with a half-volley from outside the box.

The Dublin native clocked a deflected ball and chased it down on the left wing before taking a strike on the bounce.

Ireland team-mate Courtney Brosnan, the Everton netminder, stood no chance as the ball sailed over her head into the top right corner.

A manic four-minute period saw three goals scored when Honoka Hayashi equalised a few minutes later, but Alessia Russo sent the Gunners back in front with a goal on her 100th WSL appearance.

Leah Williamson made her first appearance since playing for England in the European Championship final, coming on as a substitute in the 82nd minute before Olivia Smith wrapped up three points with a brilliant strike in the final minutes.

Arsenal have now won six league games this season, while the Toffees slipped to a seventh defeat.
