Beata Olsson and Cornelia Kapocs played pivotal roles in Liverpool's victory over Everton in the Merseyside derby, held at Anfield. Olsson scored the fastest goal in a Women’s Super League derby between the teams, heading in from a corner in the fourth minute.

Everton's best first-half chance came from Hannah Cain, who missed a shot over the crossbar. The second half saw Everton improve but Liverpool created more opportunities, including a shot from Vivien Endemann that hit the crossbar and two chances for Natalia Ramos.

Ruby Mace cleared a header from Kapocs off the line, while Liverpool goalkeeper Khiara Keating made a crucial save against substitute Holly McNamara. Kapocs secured the win with a goal in the 86th minute, marking Liverpool's first consecutive wins over Everton since 2013-2014 and propelling them into fifth place in the Women’s Super League table.
