Joe Thomas reports as goals from Beata Olsson and Cornelia Kapocs secures a long-awaited Women’s Super League Merseyside derby win at Anfield for Liverpool over Everton

Liverpool Women secured their first-ever Women's Super League home victory over Everton at Anfield with a 2-0 win on Sunday. Gareth Taylor's side opened the scoring in the first five minutes when Beata Olsson scored a header from a corner. Cornelia Kapocs sealed the victory late in the match by finishing past goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan after reacting quickly to a loose ball inside the penalty area.
The result ended Everton's six-game winning streak at Anfield in the fixture and moved Liverpool above their Merseyside rivals into fifth place in the WSL table. Despite late pressure from Scott Phelan's team, Liverpool controlled the second half with chances from Natalia Ramos and Vivien Endermann, while goalkeeper Khiara Keating made crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet.
