  • Liverpool beat their local rivals Everton at Anfield in a Women’s Super League fixture for the first time as Beata Olsson’s early header and Cornelia Kapocs’s late finish were enough to end their long run of derby pain.
  • What followed was something of a slog at times with Liverpool trying to break down an Everton backline that at first proved difficult to open up.
  • By now the pressure was almost relentless and, with just over 20 minutes remaining, Ramos looked certain to score, with time to set herself to shoot fewer than 10 yards out.

The hosts were undeniably the better side and should have scored more goals. It took Gareth Taylor’s side until 25 January to accumulate seven points last season, but in this campaign they look significantly improved and have built on the progress they made during the second half of 2025-26.

Liverpool beat their local rivals Everton at Anfield in a Women’s Super League fixture for the first time as Beata Olsson’s early header and Cornelia Kapocs’s late finish were enough to end their long run of derby pain.

The hosts were the better side and should have scored more goals. They would have done had it not been for the heroics of the Everton midfielder Ruby Mace.

When Olsson got in front of her marker, Hannah Blundell, to meet Natalia Ramos’s right-sided corner and angle her header, diagonally across goal and into the far corner inside the first four minutes, she had scored with such simplicity that you could have been forgiven for thinking Liverpool were set for an afternoon. What followed was something of a slog at times with Liverpool trying to break down an Everton backline that at first proved difficult to open up.

After the break, another set piece almost did the job for Liverpool but Vivien Endemann’s volley smacked against the crossbar. By now the pressure was almost relentless and, with just over 20 minutes remaining, Ramos looked certain to score, with time to set herself to shoot fewer than 10 yards out.
