Everton and their manager Sorensen charged by FA

EVERTON and their manager Brian Sorensen have been charged by the Football Association following Sunday’s 3-0 Women’s Super League defeat to Chelsea.

The contest at Kingsmeadow saw players from the away side complain to referee Emily Heaslip when Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the 26th minute, and Sorensen shown a red card in the closing stages.

A statement from the FA today read: “Everton Women and their manager, Brian Sorensen, have been charged following the Women’s Super League game against Chelsea Women on Sunday, February 4.

“It’s alleged that Everton Women failed to ensure their players do not behave in an improper way during the 26th minute.

“It’s also alleged that Brian Sorensen acted in an improper manner and used abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official during the 79th minute, which led to his dismissal.

“Everton Women and their manager both have until Friday, February 9 to provide their responses.”

When Chelsea boss Emma Hayes was asked in her post-match press conference about Sorensen’s dismissal, she said: “I think he made a sub or was about to make two subs and a player came over and told him that they need to come off.

“So he tried to change the sub cards. I understand it, he didn’t have the depth, but they didn’t let him and he got irate and took a yellow.

“He then said something else which he shouldn’t of done and he took a red.”
