'What people don't see' - Brian Sorensen hails 'outstanding' Clare Wheeler after dramatic Everton win

Everton boss Brian Sorensen hailed Clare Wheeler's "oustanding" display after the midfielder helped the Blues to a last-gasp victory over Tottenham in the Women's Super League.

Nicoline Sorensen got the hosts off the mark inside four minutes at Walton Hall Park; the winger notching her first goal since returning from a lengthy layoff with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. However, Spurs soon restored parity through Eveliina Summamen's stunning left-footed effort, with the Finn racing onto Bethany England's cut-back and rifling the ball into the bottom corner.

Both Katrine Veje and Gabby George went close in the second half, before a composed finish from Aggie Beever-Jones helped Everton clinch all three points in stoppage time. But it was Wheeler, who was making her fourth consecutive start in the middle of the park, that earned most of the plaudits from the Everton boss.
