Everton Women 0-0 Manchester United Women: Goodison stalemate leaves both sides sharing the points
Everton Women and Manchester United Women played out a goalless draw at Goodison Park as neither side could find a breakthrough in a tightly contested Women's Super League fixture.
The result leaves Everton in 7th position, with the point doing little to ease the pressure after a mixed run of form, while Manchester United will likely see it as two points dropped having arrived on the back of a stronger spell of results.
Chances were at a premium in the first half, with the game's first notable moment coming in the 25th minute when Everton's Rosa van Gool was shown a yellow card for a bad foul. The score remained level at the break, 0-0 at half-time.
The second half saw Manchester United make a flurry of changes as they searched for a way through, bringing on Simi Awujo for Ella Toone on 68 minutes, Jayde Riviere for Jess Park on 79 minutes, and Lea Schüller for Julia Zigiotti Olme on 80 minutes. Everton responded with their own change, introducing Noémie Mouchon for Yuka Momiki in the 82nd minute.
Shortly after the raft of substitutions, there was a stoppage for injuries to both Jayde Riviere and Rosa van Gool, with play held up before both were able to continue. Simi Awujo was booked for Manchester United at 69 minutes, and Andrea Medina picked up a late yellow card deep into stoppage time as the visitors pushed for a winner that never came.
In terms of the numbers, Manchester United shaded possession at 51.1% to Everton's 48.9%, and had the edge in shots on target, four to three, from nine attempts in total compared to Everton's six. Everton's goalkeeper was called into action more often, making four saves to Manchester United's three, while the away side also won more corners, five to two. Everton were the more frequently whistled side, committing 14 fouls to Manchester United's eight, though picked up fewer cards on the day with one to Manchester United's two.
The draw means Everton's run of results in the WSL now reads LWLLD across their last five league outings, while Manchester United's sits at WWWDD over the same span, both sides having taken something of a dip from earlier-season form into this fixture.
