Liverpool FC Women were beaten 3-0 by Everton in Sunday's Merseyside derby at Anfield.
First-half goals from Megan Finnigan and Jessica Park gave the Blues an advantage in the much-anticipated Barclays Women’s Super League clash, which was played in front of a crowd of 27,574.
A late strike by Hanna Bennison confirmed defeat for Matt Beard’s team, who were thwarted in their attempt to follow up the season-opening win over Chelsea last weekend.
The visitors made a confident start to proceedings and threatened within six minutes as, when a short corner from the right was kept alive around the back post, Gabrielle George flicked a header just over the Liverpool goal.
