Aston Villa were beaten 6-0 by Everton at the Banks's Stadium on Saturday.
The visitors put on a ruthless first-half display in dismantling Gemma Davies' side, leaving the hosts with too much to do after the break.
The result leaves Villa without a point after three games in the Barclays FA Women's Super League, while the visitors rise to the top of the division, capping off a week in which they also reached the final of the FA Cup.
Davies made three changes to the side that lost to Reading before the break.
Anita Asante, replacing Elisha N'Dow, made her claret & blue debut.
Elsewhere, Asmita Ale came in at left-back for Caro Siems, while Nadine Hanssen was brought into the midfield for Marisa Ewers.
The last switch meant Nat Haigh was given the captain's armband for the day.
The opening exchanges certainly set the tone for how the afternoon would play out, as Lisa Weiß was forced into two early stops to keep Willie Kirk's side out.
Weiß then tipped over a powerful effort from Hayley Raso, but the Australian international was on hand to tap home from close range just a minute later.
Raso doubled her tally just three minutes after opening the scoring, drilling past Weiß after picking up a loose clearance from the 'keeper.
Matters were made worse before the half-hour mark when Claire Emslie expertly curled the ball into the far corner.
Raso then turned provider before the break, firing in a cross from the right-hand side which Valerie Gauvin headed home with aplomb.
The interval didn't seem to halt Everton's momentum in any way, as they further added to the scoreline through Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah and Emslie again.
Villa have the chance to bounce back quickly, as they open their Continental League Cup campaign on Wednesday at home to Sheffield United.
