Everton player ratings as Lucy Graham and three others good despite Continental Cup defeat

Courtney Brosnan - 7

Couldn't have done much for the Durham goal and made a decent save from Hepple shortly afterwards. Tipped Farruga's shot over the bar in the second half.

Clare Wheeler - 7

Won the ball back high up the pitch in the early exchanges. Sliding challenge thwarted Lambert when she was through on goal.

Izzy Christiansen - 6

Back in the starting lineup after injury and caused problems with her corner delivery. Battled in the middle of the pitch. Drilled her first time effort just over the bar in the second half.

Aggie Beever-Jones - 6

Nearly broke through on goal in the first half but was thwarted by the on-rushing Naoisha McAloon. Didn't get a lot of service but hit the post with a superb curling shot shortly before the break.

Lucy Graham - 7

Influence grew throughout the first half and whipped in a really dangerous ball that just evaded Abbby Clarke at the back post. Helped out defensively with the tricky Farrugia in the second half and was Everton's best attacking outlet down the right-hand side.

Gio - 6

Scored her first Everton goal in midweek but struggled to influence the game early on. Showed a glimpse of what she could do late in the first half when her tricky footwork down the right nealy drew a save from McAloon. Subbed at the break after going down under a hefty challenge.

Leonie Maier - 6

Attacking influence grew throughout the game and did a decent job defensively down the left.

Kenzie Weir - 6

Lost possession a couple of times early on but grew into the game and made some important interceptions after the break.

Karen Holmgaard - 7

Looked composed on the ball and showed great defensive strength up against Farrugia and Lambert in the second half.

Abby Clarke - 6

First team debut. Not afraid to get stuck into a tackle but didn't manage to get on the ball too much in dangerous areas. Better after the break.

Annie Wilding - 6

First team debut. Goal came down her side but recovered and showed composure afterwards.

Substitutes:

Taylor Howarth - 6

Brought on for Gio at the break.
