Liverpool vs Everton LIVE: Women's Super League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Anfield
Liverpool’s fine start to the Women’s Super League season came to a shuddering halt on Sunday as Everton grabbed a 1-0 win in the Merseyside derby at Anfield, while Manchester City thrashed Bristol City 5-0 to lead the table.
Liverpool followed up an opening-day 1-0 win over Arsenal with a 2-0 defeat of Aston Villa last week but Everton defender Megan Finnigan scored with a header from a corner in the 31st minute to hand them their first league defeat of the season.
That result saw the Reds slip to fifth spot after City’s hammering of bottom side Bristol put them top with seven points after three games, one point ahead of Liverpool.
