Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Lexi Lloyd-Smith’s 34th-minute strike proved decisive as Crystal Palace Women edged Everton Women 1-0 in The FA Women’s Super League. In truth, it was a scrappy, attritional London afternoon where the hosts had to dig deep defensively, and they did so to bank three valuable points.

The turning point arrived just before the half-hour mark when Lloyd-Smith converted to give Palace the lead, a goal that owed little to sustained pressure. The contest then tightened considerably, with referee’s card brandished four times after the interval as Palace’s Teyah Goldie, Molly Bartrip and Shanade Hopcroft, along with Everton’s Zara Kramzar and Ruby Mace, all went into the book in a tense, fragmented affair.

The numbers paint a clear picture of Everton’s frustration: they enjoyed 60% of the possession and managed five corners to Palace’s two, yet the two sides’ expected goals were almost identical at 0.55 and 0.54. Everton shaded the first half but Palace improved after the break, and despite being outplayed on the ball, it was the hosts’ efficiency that won the day. Lloyd-Smith was the standout with a 7.3 rating and her winning goal from the forward position, though CheckLive’s live signals had backed Everton, a call that ultimately lost as the model read the run of play incorrectly.
