Everton boss Brian Sorensen has admitted his side still "have some learning to do" following their surprise FA Cup exit at the hands of Birmingham City.
The Toffees dominated the contest at Walton Hall Park, with striker Aggie Beever-Jones almost opening the scoring in the second half with a close-range effort that cannoned off the post. But the hosts were made to pay for the spurned opportunity; Birmingham winger Jade Pennock breaking through on goal in the 61st minute and coolly slotting the ball home to secure victory for Darren Carter's side.
It's a result that marks a departure from Everton's excellent form in the WSL - the Blues having won their previous three games to move up to fifth in the table. However, the manager admitted some of the fluidity his side have shown in their recent league outings was lacking in Sunday's cup tie.
