Chelsea held a narrow lead over Liverpool at the break, Guro Reiten having opened the scoring with a sweet volley. That strike proved enough to see the Blues through to face more Merseyside opposition in the last eight.
Everton’s Gabby George was stretchered off moments into the game at Ashton Gate but the visitors still struck three first-half goals with two for Lucy Graham and one from Esma Morgan. Inessa Kaagman and Hannah Cain both extended the lead after the interval.
