Liverpool Women secured a 2-0 victory over Everton in their latest Women’s Super League (WSL) fixture at Anfield. The win was significant for the hosts, as it marked their first-ever victory against their local rivals at Anfield since the inception of the current WSL era. Prior to this match, Everton had maintained a dominant record at the venue, winning all six of their previous visits to the stadium.

The scoring opened early in the match with a header from Beata Olsson. Despite Everton's previous success at the ground—which had led to past comments from former manager Brian Sørensen jokingly referring to Anfield as their “training pitch”—Liverpool maintained control throughout the contest. The result was sealed late in the game when Cornelia Kapocs added a second goal, ensuring the three points for the home side. The victory ends a long-standing winless streak for Liverpool in this specific derby fixture, providing a notable shift in the recent history of the rivalry. Liverpool fans celebrated the result at the Kop end following the final whistle, marking a turning point in the team's performance against their local competitors.
