Sheffield United visited Everton for another behind-closed-doors game, with the hosts failing to turn their dominance into efforts on goal before conceding a late goal on the break.

Kelly Gago did have a goal ruled out for offside however, while Katja Snoeijs saw her volley kept out by a last-ditch block.

With 10 minutes left, Eva Butler broke down the right and her low cross was slotted home by Grace Foy.
