Magill converted Everton’s dominant first-half performance into a 1-0 lead with a goal in the 44th minute. Izzy Christiansen played an impressive pass into the path of Magill, who took one touch before firing past goalkeeper Hannah Hampton.

Nicoline Sorensen doubled the advantage in the 60th minute as she exploited the space behind Birmingham full-back Rebecca Holloway to turn an Ingrid Moe Wold cross into the back of the net.

Everton substitute Valerie Gauvin wrapped it up three minutes from time after Christiansen intercepted the ball from a tired-looking Birmingham defence and played in Molly Pike, whose through ball saw Gauvin drill home.
