Everton beat Liverpool at Anfield to maintain WSL derby dominance
"The mind games started before a ball was even kicked at Anfield. Having won the prematch coin toss, Everton captain Katja Snoeijs denied Liverpool the chance -- as is tradition -- to kick towards the Kop end of the stadium in the second half. It was a small gesture, but one that immediately signalled Everton's intent to spoil their hosts' party on the opening weekend of the Women's Super League (WSL) season."
"It was not a record to inspire much confidence among those of a Liverpool persuasion. But, with new manager Gareth Taylor at the helm, there was optimism the Reds could mark the start of a new era with a little slice of history. Instead, Liverpool once again fell victim to their derby curse, with a superb hat trick from Everton debutant Ornell"
Everton came from behind to beat Liverpool 4-1 at Anfield, celebrating in front of travelling supporters. Everton captain Katja Snoeijs used the prematch coin toss to deny Liverpool the customary second-half direction, signalling Everton's intent. Everton's women's team were confirmed as custodians of Goodison Park, and manager Brian Sorensen joked about having made Anfield their training pitch. The Blues entered the fixture unbeaten in seven matches against Liverpool and had won each of their last four away trips without conceding. Liverpool, under new manager Gareth Taylor, again fell victim to the derby curse as Everton debutant Ornell scored a superb hat trick.
