Hanna Bennison’s stunning strike helped Everton Women beat Birmingham City 3-1 as Willie Kirk’s side recorded their first win of the WSL season.
Bennison, 18, signed from FC Rosengard for a record fee last summer, decided a tight contest at Walton Hall Park with a sublime goal 17 minutes from time.
The home team had taken a 13th-minute lead thanks to Leonie Maier’s deflected effort – the Germany right back’s first goal in English football.
However, Birmingham deservedly drew level through Jade Pennock’s lovely strike 13 minutes before half-time, the visitors’ first goal of the new campaign.
Substitute Rikke Sevecke then headed in a third goal in stoppage time – her first goal for the club as well – to seal Everton’s victory as Scott Booth’s team were forced to wait for their first points of the season.
