Caitlin Foord made her return from injury as a substitute in Arsenal's 4-0 win over Brighton last WednesdayCaitlin Foord marked her full return from injury with two goals in a comfortable victory over Everton to boost Arsenal's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
Everton went down to 10 players in the second half when Aggie Beever-Jones was sent off for a challenge on Lia Walti, who was stretchered off.
Arsenal were already 4-0 up at the break thanks to Foord's quick double.
Katie McCabe struck from long range and Lotte Wubben-Moy headed in the fourth.
Jonas Eidevall's side, who sit third in the Women's Super League (WSL) table, three points clear of Manchester City, showed their ruthless streak in the first half.
It was the second game in a row they have scored four goals and they go into the final two matches of the season knowing European qualification is in their hands.
However, there was concern for key midfielder Walti, who signed a new contract last week, when Beever-Jones was late in a challenge early in the second half and had her yellow card upgraded to a straight red after discussions among the officials.
Everton faced a tall order and were unable to mount a serious comeback, though Katja Snoeijs headed in a late goal as they suffered a second successive defeat, shipping 11 goals in the process.
