Liverpool claimed their first away league win of the season with a dramatic 3-2 victory over local rivals Everton in the Merseyside derby. Ceri Holland converted a penalty and added another goal, while Martina Fernandez scored a header to put Liverpool 3-0 up before the break. The result moves Gareth Taylor's side eight points clear of the Women's Super League relegation zone.

Everton fought back through Aurora Galli's deflected free-kick and a stoppage-time goal from Zara Kramzar after Liverpool captain Grace Fisk received a red card. Despite being reduced to ten players, Liverpool held on for a crucial victory that takes them to 17 points, three matches remaining with West Ham a place further back on 12 points.

The derby victory consolidates Liverpool's position in the league while keeping Everton's slim hopes of European qualification alive. With Leicester bottom on nine points and two games in hand, the relegation battle remains tight. Everton stay sixth, just three points ahead of their local rivals in the competitive Women's Super League table.
