Irish goalkeeper Brosnan saves 3 penalties to inspire Everton victory

Elsewhere, Dubliner Eleanor Ryan-Doyle scored a vital goal for Durham.

IRISH INTERNATIONAL Courtney Brosnan starred as Everton beat Newcastle in the FA Womenโ€™s League Cup tonight.

The match ended 1-1 in normal time, with Demi Stokesโ€™ fifth-minute opener for the hosts cancelled out by an Emma Bissell in the second half.

It was then Brosnanโ€™s time to shine. The 28-year-old saved spot kicks from Amy Andrews, Georgia Gibson and Northern Ireland international Rachel Furness

Successful penalties by Justine Vanhaevermaet, Katja Snoeijs and Megan Finnigan ensured the Toffeesโ€™ triumph.

Elsewhere, former Peamount United player Eleanor Ryan-Doyle scored a late winner as Durham came from behind to beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1.
