The Toffees have three points from their seven matches so far, all via draws. Hayashi's header was Brian Sorensen's side second goal of the season, the first of which coming via West Ham's Camila Saez who inadvertently earned Everton a point last month.

Veatriki Sarri felt her teammates gave everything against Crystal Palace as Honoka Hayashi’s looping header was only enough secure a point in a game largely controlled by Everton Women. Indiah-Paige Riley put the hosts in front with barely a minute on the clock but the Blues pressure finally paid off as Hayashi directed Sarri’s pinpoint cross beyond Shae Yanez.

The newly-promoted side are in a slightly better position than their opponents, as Everton have no wins in their opening six matches, with five of those defeats. And Palace have got off to the best possible start as New Zealand international Indiah-Paige Riley put them ahead after just 30 seconds.
