Jennifer Falk................4

- By CHRIS BEESLEY

Had dealt with everything that came her way before making a hash of Aurora Galli's low strike as the ball rebounded off her and into her own net.Risa Shimizu................7 Energetic display, carrying the ball forwards from wide.

Alejandra Bernabe ......7 Strong performance against some of Everton's more dangerous threats.

Jenna Clark................7 Tower of strength at the back while also elegant in possession, she was denied from close range by Brosnan.

Grace Fisk................7 The home captain looked comfortable on the ball, carrying the ball out from defence.

Cornelia Kapocs............7 A willing runner throughout down the right wing.

Fuka Nagano................7 Often the starting points of forays forward as a deep-lying playmaker.

Denise O'Sullivan............7 Kept Everton on their toes with a lively display.

Mia Enderby................8 Had a low shot that went wide when played into space but made no mistake with a brave close-range header to put Liverpool ahead, getting hurt in the process and being stretchered off.

Martha Thomas................7 Denied when she saw a header tipped over the bar, she was a livewire throughout.
