Everton Women suffered a disappointing 4-1 loss against Manchester United in their first-ever match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday.

Honoka Hayashi became the first woman to score at the waterfront venue as a crowd of 18,154 celebrated the moment just after the first quarter. But what was a historic day for the Blues turned bittersweet as one of their former players, Jess Park, stole the show in the dying stages.

Despite Hayashi’s opener, the Blues were unable to hold on to the lead. Brian Sorensen’s side completely collapsed in the second half as Manchester United came roaring back.

Melvine Malard restored parity just after the hour mark, while an unfortunate own goal from Hikaru Kitagawa gave the visitors the lead. Jess Park scored twice in the space of five minutes late in the game to put Everton out of their misery.

Sorensen’s side are still searching for their first win since their opening-day demolition of Liverpool at the Anfield derby. They’ve lost four of their last five games and are currently 10th in the table with just four points.
