Reading WomenReading Women0Everton WomenEverton Women3
Everton made it back-to-back Women's Super League wins with a comprehensive victory at Reading.
Anna Anvegard's first goal for the club and strikes from Claire Emslie and Danielle Turner put Willie Kirk's side in control in the first half.
Izzy Christiansen could have added a fourth, but had a penalty saved 14 minutes from time.
Reading, who lost defender Deanna Cooper and captain Natasha Harding to injury, remain goalless and pointless.
Everton went ahead when Anvegard pounced on a poor clearance from Harding to fire into the roof of the net.
The visitors scored again seven minutes before half-time through Emslie, who curled an effort into the top corner from Christiansen's clever pass. Turner added a third with as sumptuous free-kick in the final minute of first-half stoppage time.
Later, Christiansen was fouled in the area before being denied from the spot by Grace Moloney, who also stopped the rebound.
