Toni Duggan is one of the more outspoken voices in women's football, so despite her petit frame she looked typically fearless when stood beside Everton's imposing Sylvain Distin.
A member of Everton Ladies, Duggan was at the club's Finch Farm training ground for a photocall with the Frenchman, who seemed impressed by the 21-year-old's ability.
Duggan scored against Bristol Academy two weeks ago in Everton's first FA Women's Super League fixture of the season, which they lost 4-3.
