Liverpool FC Women began their FA Women's Championship season with a 1-1 draw against Durham on Sunday.
Rachel Furness gave Vicky Jepson’s side a half-time lead at Prenton Park with a smartly-taken finish in the 39th minute.
But Durham denied the Reds a winning start to the 2020-21 campaign as Beth Hepple beat Rachael Laws three minutes from time to force a share of the points.
Three of the Reds’ summer signings were in the XI; Taylor Hinds, Laws – for a second time – and Amalie Thestrup making their competitive debuts for the club.
There was also a 100th Liverpool appearance for Ashley Hodson.
