Kate Longhurst scored a superb goal to give Liverpool a 1-0 victory over local rivals Everton at the Select Security Stadium.
Longhurst struck in the 11th minute as the Reds claimed their first FA Women’s Super League win since the first day of the season while bottom of the table Everton slumped to their fourth defeat in six.
Everton made the brighter start and almost took the lead inside two minutes but Libby Stout produced a brilliant save to keep out a close range effort from Nikita Parris.
And Everton then found themselves behind when Corina Schroder made progress down the left and crossed to Natsha Dowie, whose lay-off was superbly side-footed into the net from distance by Longhurst.
Dowie almost doubled the advantage but her header from a Fara Williams free-kick was just wide of the post.
Everton pressed forward after the break and Stout did well to prevent an own goal from Schroder, who had deflected a Lindsay Johnson cross.
Moments later, Longhurst had a great chance to score her second goal of the evening but she slipped somewhat and shot over the bar.
And there was further drama late on, Gemma Davison almost wrapping up the victory for Liverpool, only to be foiled by a brilliant save from Rachel Brown-Finnis, before Parris shot wide from close range at the other end when given an opportunity to bag a late equaliser.
