Brian Sorensen admitted that his side were lucky to escape Walton Hall Park with a point after the Blues ended their final home game with a draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
The Toffees raced into a two-goal lead inside the first 20 minutes; Sara Holmgaard continuing her fine form with an impressive strike before Justine Vanhaevermaet scrambled home the second from a corner.
Drew Spence pulled one back just before half time, before Beth England levelled just three minutes after the restart.
And Sorensen did not hide away from delivering an honest assessment of the game, admitting that it was the hosts that were lucky to escape with a draw.
“I think in the first half we played really well, probably the best football we have played all season in terms of creating opportunities and chances,” he said.
“And we scored two good goals.
“And then second half, I don’t really know what happened. Of course, they got a goal just before the break when we made a mistake.
“We talked about it at half time as they were coming forward and being aggressive. We just needed to play a bit more simple, but we didn’t and we gave them a second goal.
“And from then, it was just a nightmare. No structure, no nothing, and we were lucky to actually get a draw,” admitted the Blues boss.
“So, I’m really disappointed as we showed that first half how we should comfortably put this game to bed and not lot them in at all.
“But, unfortunately, we did.”
Kathrine Kühl’s return to the starting XI in place of Martina Piemonte was the only change from the side who impressed against Arsenal just six days earlier.
Eveliina Summanen had warmed the gloves of Courtney Brosnan with the game’s first effort of note, but it was the Blues who took command – and the lead – early.
Clare Wheeler found Sara Holmgaard in space on the edge of the area, and the WSL Player of the Month nominee rifled home into the far corner of Rebecca Spencer’s net to give the Spurs stopper no chance.
Five minutes later and it was two. Sara Holmgaard this time turned provider when her corner caused confusion inside the visitors’ 18-yard box. Megan Finnigan rose highest but saw her attempt blocked against the post only for Vanhaevermaet to eventually bundle the ball over the line to put the Blues two up.
The visitors rallied and Brosnan was set for a busy day. First blocking Grace Clinton’s effort on the half-hour mark before tipping over England’s looping header after she met Summanen’s cross.
Robert Vilahamn’s side threatened again when Spence dispossessed Vanheavermaet deep in Everton territory and hared for goal. But Brosnan was equal to Spurs’ leading scorer and narrowed the angle to force the 31-year-old to rush her shot which clattered the woodwork.
But eventually the North London’s side’s persistence paid off on the stroke of half time. Once again the Spence/Summanen combination created a chance, with the former finishing the latter’s through ball, beating the onrushing Brosnan to the ball before finishing into an empty net.
Tottenham picked up where they had left off and were level three minutes after the restart. Spence turned provider when she intercepted a wayward pass, and the Jamaica international squared the ball neatly for England to make it 2-2.
Brosnan continued to justify her Player of the Match accolade as the game drew on. The Republic of Ireland star denied substitute Wang Shuang on 73 minutes, before producing a stunning full-length stop to deny Martha Thomas, to ensure honours remained even.
Everton will take to travel to the already relegated Bristol City for the final home game of the WSL season. The fixture takes place At Ashton Gate on Saturday, 18 May, at 3pm (BST).
