Everton ran out 3-0 winners at Aston Villa to become the first side through to the last sixteen of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup.
Rachel Daly had an early close-range effort for Villa smothered by keeper Courtney Brosnan but it was the visitors who had the better of the first half.
The Toffees forced Anna Leat into a couple of saves and Megan Finnegan put the ball over the bar from one of several corners her side had.
Daly had a free header straight at the keeper early in the second half, Hanna Bennison hit the inside of the far post for Everton, before her cut-back led to Karoline Olesen firing the roof of the net.
Katja Snoeijs doubled Everton’s lead inside the last dozen minutes, Adriana Leon went close for Villa when connecting with a long ball but Snoeijs won and converted a late penalty to seal her team’s progress.
The fifth round draw will be made during BBC Radio 5Live’s ‘Monday Night Club’ from 7.30pm on 15 January and also streamed on the BBC iPlayer.
