Liverpool 2-0 Everton Women: WSL Match Report and Reaction | Knives out for Phelan as Blues lose

On September 27, 2026, Liverpool FC secured a 2-0 victory over Everton Women at Anfield in the Barclays Women's Super League. This marked Everton's first defeat in the Women's Super League. Zara Kramzar put Liverpool ahead in the fourth minute with a powerful header from Natalia Ramos' corner. Cornelia Kapocs sealed the win for Liverpool four minutes from the end, capitalizing on indecisive defending by Everton.

The match started lively with Liverpool's Beata Olsson scoring the opening goal through Natalia Ramos' corner. Everton's Ornella Vignola and Hannah Cain had chances, but failed to capitalize. Liverpool's captain Courtney Brosnan saved a header from Vignola in the 10th minute and blocked an effort by Kramzar in the 33rd minute. Despite a few opportunities for Everton, Liverpool held on to win.

Manager Scott Phelan addressed his team's individual errors in the match. His players' lack of grit and determination seemed to be a concern. Captain Megan Finnigan and head coach Phelan paid tribute to former Liverpool manager Matt Beard, who passed away earlier that day.

Everton made several changes with Yuka Momiki omitted from the starting lineup. Despite her absence, Everton had a few chances, including a close call by Rosa van Gool, but Liverpool's defense held firm. The Toffees had a chance to equalize in the 85th minute, but Liverpool's defense prevailed once again.

With Everton Women's next match against Birmingham City on October 4, social media has been critical of Phelan's team selection and performance. The reaction on social media appears to be harsh on Phelan, raising questions about his coaching decisions.
