At last, their wait is over. Liverpool’s players could gather in front of the Kop for a celebratory team photograph after the final whistle and rejoice in a new feeling, after beating Everton at Anfield in a Women’s Super League fixture for the first time and finally ending their long run of derby pain.
After six wins from six visits to Anfield for Everton in the WSL era and even quips from their former manager Brian Sørensen in previous campaigns about making Anfield their “training pitch” during their persistent run of victories in this showpiece fixture, Beata Olsson’s early header and Cornelia Kapocs’s late finish were enough to give them a deserved 2-0 victory.
