Arsenal recorded their second 3-3 away draw in the league in a
row on Sunday after squandering a two-goal first-half lead.
Winger Rachel Yankey gave the visitors the lead after 12 minutes
at Marine's Rossett Park ground in front of 1,500 spectators.
England star Kelly Smith made it 2-0 shortly before the break.
But Everton started the second period superbly and restored
parity within four minutes. Toffees defender Rachel Unitt halved
the deficit before midfielder Fara Williams got the second.
Arsenal regained the lead after 58 minutes when Smith - who
notched a hat-trick for England in midweek - got her second of the
game and her 10th in five league games.
But Everton refused to lie down and nine minutes from time the
hosts rescued a point through striker Jody Handley.
