Everton secured their first point of the new Women’s Super League season with a solid defensive performance, holding Arsenal to a 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium. Despite dominating possession, Arsenal couldn’t find the back of the net, with Katie McCabe and Emily Fox both hitting the woodwork early on.

Everton goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan made several key saves, while defenders Justine Vanhaevermaet and Lucy Hope produced crucial blocks to deny the Gunners.

In stoppage time, Arsenal came close again, but Caitlin Foord’s shot hit the post, sealing a goalless draw in front of 25,480 spectators.
