Matt Beard believes his Liverpool players looked 'scared' in their defeat to Everton and refused to use playing at Anfield as an 'excuse' for his side's 3-0 defeat.
Despite beating Chelsea last week in their opening WSL game of the season, the Reds were second best against their Merseyside rivals at Anfield. The victory was Everton’s first of the campaign after defeat to West Ham United last Sunday.
Megan Finnigan gave Everton an early lead when she sent a header past goalkeeper Rachael Laws before Jess Park made it 2-0 just before the interval. The Blues were dominant and eventually added a third three minutes from time thanks to Hanna Bennison's strike.
