Captain Aimee Everett shared her thoughts following Palace Women's 1-1 draw against Everton in the Barclays Women's Super League at Sutton.

Speaking immediately after the game, Everett said: "I thought our performance didn't quite reflect the scoreline.

"It's disappointing, but I think it's another point to take away and going into next week.”

It was the perfect start for the Eagles, as summer signing Indiah-Paige Riley scored her first goal for the club inside the first minute.

“I’m really pleased for her. She has had a fantastic week and a fantastic start to the season, to be fair so it's a well-deserved goal for her."

Sunday's game also marked Everett's first game back from injury, after a short spell on the sidelines.

“It's good to be back. I thought the girls put in a shift the past two weeks since I've been missing.

“Josie took the armband and she's a fantastic role model and a lot of girls on that pitch today showed great leadership, not just me.

Next up for Palace Women in the WSL is Aston Villa at Villa Park on Sunday 17th November.

Everett said: “We’ve got another important game next week.

"We’ve got to go again, work hard during the week in training and try to put this performance into next week.”
