Everton Women: Everton Women overcame local rivals Liverpool on Sunday, picking up a 1-0 victory, their first league win of the season, in the last ever Women’s Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

Late in the first half, Katja Snoeijs fired the Blues into the lead from the penalty spot – and the Toffees – helped by an incredible Courtney Brosnan double save in the second half – defended resiliently to see out a famous victory.

A first chance on goal for the Toffees arrived after 27 minutes, when the Blues found Toni Payne with a long ball down the left channel. She broke free, cutting into the penalty area and past Gemma Bonner, but curling a right-footed shot wide of the goal.
