Liverpool Women vs Everton Women. Women's Super League. 4:30pm, Sunday 15th October 2023.
AnfieldAttendance: Attendance23,088.
Liverpool Women 0
Everton Women 1 M Finnigan (31')
Megan Finnigan's first-half header saw Everton to a 1-0 win in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool at Anfield, with the Reds missing the chance to go top of the WSL.
The early season form of the two sides could not have been more contrasting - Liverpool winning both games, including a 1-0 win at the Emirates against Arsenal, while Everton had not picked up a point.
But as with any derby, form went out of the window as Liverpool were once again overawed by a derby game at Anfield. The Reds have now lost four derbies at the stadium without scoring, having been beaten 3-0 in the same fixture last season. While the scoreline was not the same, one of the goals was. Everton captain Finnigan had a free header that flew past Rachael Laws' fingertips, scoring with one of the Toffees' two shots in target. Liverpool arguably offered a reply too late on, with a frantic final 15 minutes seeing chances at both ends, but neither side was able to add another.
The Reds could have gone two points clear at the top of the WSL with a win, but are instead fifth on six points. Everton have their first win of the campaign and move up to eighth.

Let's hope they've shown the way forward for the men's derby.

They rode their luck a little early on but a win is a win.

Is women's football still a thing?
