Brian Sorensen makes Everton admission after Blues fire blanks against Aston Villa

Everton boss Brian Sorensen has admitted his side need to be sharper in front of goal following their 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

The Blues went into Sunday's game looking to make it five unbeaten in the Women's Super League, although the international break meant it had been more than a month since they were last in competitive action. That lack of match sharpness was evident early on when former Everton midfielder Kenza Dali put the visitors in front less than five minutes into the contest at Walton Hall Park.

The Blues' misery was then compounded in the second half when defender Megan Finnigan inadvertently diverted the ball into her own net. Everton battled to find a way back into the game but it wasn't to be for Sorensen's side, with the manager admitting his side's deficiencies in front of goal ultimately cost them the game.
