Sorensen snatches late winner as Everton progress in Vitality Women s FA Cup
Toffees see off Durham in stoppage time as 14 sides book their place in the fifth round
Everton needed a stoppage time winner to see off Championship side Durham in the fourth round of the Vitality Women’s FA Cup.
The visitors, who sit second in the second tier, gave their Barclays FA Women’s Super League opponents a real scare by taking the lead in the 47th minute when Molly Sharpe drilled a super effort into the top corner.
The Toffees hit back immediately though when Poppy Pattinson turned a cross into the back of the net.
WHAT HAPPENED
We hit double figures in the in the fourth round of the Vitality Women’s FA Cup on Sunday as we ran out 10-0 winners over Gillingham.
Vivianne Miedema marked her 100th appearance for the club with a goal, while Jill Roord hit a first-half hat-trick and Anna Patten scored her first in Arsenal colours.
Teyah Goldie also made her first-team debut as a second-half substitute.
Having named a strong starting XI, we wasted no time in asserting our dominance over the FA Women’s National League side, and after just seven minutes we found ourselves ahead.
Jill Roord opened the soring by firing home from close range, before Beth Mead doubled our advantage with one of her signature ‘crot’ finishes, breaking free down the right wing and firing in off the woodwork.
