The win moved Arsenal up to second, where they will stay for the day at least with third-placed Chelsea and Manchester United in fourth not in action until tomorrow.
McCabe’s goal came in the 11th minute, a trademark left-footed strike from distance after she pounced on a defensive clearance.
It was the Ireland captain’s first league goal of the season, and she added an assist in the second half.
McCabe’s opener was the first of three goals in five minutes: Honoka Hayashi equalised for Everton, before Alessia Russo put Arsenal back in front on her 100th WSL appearance.

Substitute Olivia Smith wrapped up the Gunners’ fourth successive victory with a brilliant strike in the closing minutes after a looped pass from McCabe.
Ireland’s Courtney Brosnan was in goal for Everton: she produced some good saves, but the Toffees could not repeat their heroics from last weekend when they ended Chelsea’s 34-game unbeaten run.

Shelbourne FC are delighted to announce the signing of striker, Emily Kraft.
Meanwhile, Shelbourne have announced the signing of Ireland cap Emily Kraft from Southampton.
The 23-year-old striker has also played for Eintracht Frankfurt, Lewes and Aberdeen (loan), while she represented her country of birth, Germany, at U15 and U16 international level before switching to Ireland at U17s. She won her only senior cap in January 2019, starting in a 1-0 defeat to Belgium under Colin Bell at the age of 16.
“I’m really excited to get started and become part of this club,” said Kraft upon signing for Shelbourne. “I can’t wait to get going with the squad as I know it will be a successful season and I’m looking forward to showing what I can do in Tolka Park.”
“We are delighted to have signed Emily,” Shels manager Sean Russell added. “She brings a lot of experience and quality to the team.
“Emily is a player who plays with high energy and has a real strikers instinct. Her work rate, ability to link play and finish attacks will be a huge asset to the team this season.”
