Overview
- Liverpool led after 12 minutes through Cornelia Kapocs before Everton levelled via Ornella Vignola and moved ahead at half-time with Katja Snoeijs’ header.
- Vignola, a summer signing from Granada, completed her treble with a 54th-minute header and a deflected strike two minutes later.
- The visitors’ victory reflected a busy window of nine arrivals for Brian Sørensen’s squad, with multiple debutants starting and record recruit Ruby Mace coming on at the break.
- Taylor’s first competitive match in charge underscored Liverpool’s defensive issues after a bright opening, with new goalkeeper Rafaela Borggrafe unavailable due to an internal club issue.
- Everton extended their WSL derby run to eight games unbeaten, winning again at Anfield in front of a crowd of 11,904.
