Williams wins Award


Fara Williams of Everton and England has won the Nationwide Women's Player of the Month Award for November.
A selection panel, which includes England coach Hope Powell, picked Fara following a series of outstanding performances for club and country during the month.
Nationwide's Chris Hull said: "Fara has played a key role for Everton in reaching the Nationwide Premier League Cup Semi-Finals by scoring twice in the Quarter-Final win over Sunderland.
"Fara has also helped the Toffees to stay second in the Nationwide Premier League table, including a stunning goal against Champions Arsenal.
"In addition, she struck the vital penalty winner in England's single goal World Cup victory over the Netherlands in the month.
"Fara will be presented with her specially commissioned magnum of Nationwide champagne at half-time of the men's first team fixture against Bolton on December 17th at Goodison Park."
Everton boss Mo Marley, who picked her MBE last week, said: "Fara is stamping her authority on the midfield now. She has matured in her role and has put in consistently outstanding performances throughout November."
