Melvine Malard was the hero for Manchester United as she scored a stoppage time winner to move Marc Skinner’s side up to second in the WSL table.
Off the back of the League Cup final defeat to Chelsea and a disappointing draw in midweek to West Ham, United needed Malard to secure three points against the Toffees in the 94th minute after nearly throwing victory away in an otherwise dominant display.
Elisabeth Terland had given United the lead on the stroke of half-time with her first goal in four games, but Everton thought they had snatched a point when Inma Gabarro headed passed Phallon Tullis-Joyce in the 90th minute.
