Everton ladies made a triumphant return to WSL action with a 2-0 home win over Chelsea on Sunday.
England internationals Rachel Brown, Rachel Unitt and Jill Scott, fresh from their World Cup disappointment in Germany, were named in the starting XI but fellow Lioness Fara Williams missed out through injury.
Brown was forced into action early on, making a smart stop from Danielle Buet's fizzing free-kick, the only chance of the game in the opening half hour.
Everton broke the deadlock on 33 minutes, Toni Duggan converting Rachel Unitt's cross to mark the eve of her 20th birthday in style.

After the success of the recent World Cup Women’s football is riding high at the moment, despite England’s inevitable defeat on penalties and the agonising loss via the same method for the USWNT against Japan in Sunday’s final.
But these girls are a tough bunch and domestic fixtures in England are set to get underway just a week after the end of the tournament in Germany – to think the men moan about being tired!
