"Hill Dickinson Stadium (Image credit: Getty Images) Sunday's Women's Super League fixture between Everton and Manchester United was the first women's league match to be played the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Everton moved to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock over the summer, with Everton Women taking up permanent residence at Goodison Park. In common with other WSL teams who play in their own grounds, Everton will still play some of their fixtures at the home of the men's team."
"Everton Women made their Hill Dickinson Stadium bow in the WSL on Sunday and took an early lead through Honoka Hayashi, who fired into the roof of the United net with quarter of an hour played. But the Red Devils roared back in the last half-hour of the match on Merseyside, scoring four times to become the first WSL team to win a match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium."
"France international Melvine Malard found the bottom corner to equalise before Hikaru Katagawa's own goal and a late double from former Manchester City star Jess Park from a pair of assists by Lionesses legend Ella Toone completed a 4-1 win for United. Marc Skinner's team stayed in second place in the WSL before rivals City get a chance to overtake them in the final game of the weekend against a Liverpool yet to pick up a point."
