Everton Women boss Jean-Luc Vasseur described his team’s return to Barclays FA WSL action as ‘a nightmare’ after they were beaten 3-0 at West Ham.
The Toffees were playing for the first time since December 19 following a series of Covid-enforced postponements and started brightly in Dagenham, twice hitting the crossbar through Hanna Bennison and Valerie Gauvin.
But Katerina Svitkova’s opener four minutes before the break changed Vasseur’s half-time team talk and his fatigued side were made to suffer in the second half as further goals from Dagny Brynjarsdottir and Claudia Walker settled the outcome.
