Albion moved back up to fifth in the WSL after a 3-2 win against Everton at Walton Hall Park on Sunday.

Albion twice came from behind to draw level in the first half through Michelle Agyemang and Fran Kirby before former Everton player Nikita Parris scored a stoppage-time winner for Dario Vidosic’s side.

Albion fought back well after conceding eight minutes into the game when Sara Holmgaard broke the deadlock. Katja Snoeijs delivered a curling ball into the box, linking up perfectly with the Dane who coolly lifted it over the outstretched arms of Melina Loeck.

Everton pressed Vidosic’s defence relentlessly but Albion found a response on 19 minutes when Agyemang calmly slotted home to level the scores. Kiko Seike burst down the right wing on a brilliant run, her low cross flashed across the face of goal and Agyemang scored at the far post.

There was a quick response from Everton though and two minutes later they were back in front. Toni Payne curled in a pinpoint delivery to Snoeijs, who met it with a sharp volley into the net.

There were opportunities from Caitlin Hayes and Jelena Cankovic, but unsurprisingly it was Kirby who equalised just before the break. A superb team build-up involving Seike and Parris ended with Parris finding Kirby to curl a strike around Courtney Brosnan.

Albion looked threatening in a second half which was more cagey and their defence remained solid. And in the dying embers of the game it was Parris who struck. Substitute Rachel McLauchlan threaded a ball through to Parris and she finished with aplomb to ensure a third away win of the season for Albion.
