Lucy Graham scored from about 30 yards as Bristol City Women put in a resolute defensive display to beat Everton.
Everton keeper Kirstie Levell could only tip Graham's fine strike onto the post and into the net, as the hosts broke through with their first shot.
The visitors were thwarted by several saves from Sophie Baggaley, with Elise Hughes and Angharad James also hitting the woodwork in quick succession.
Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah was also denied as Everton were left frustrated.
The Toffees stay second from bottom of the Women's Super League table, with Bristol City consolidating their place in fifth, three points behind Birmingham.
