It was an historic afternoon as a crowd of 23,500 turned out to witness the first Women’s Super League match ever to be held at Anfield.
The Reds produced a determined performance worthy of the occasion but were unable to take their chances and were punished by the visitors.
Blues captain Lucy Graham put her side in front at the very end of a first half the home team had dominated for the most part, a strike from distance fumbled in by Anke Preuss.
And it proved the winner for Everton despite Liverpool’s constant push for an equaliser.
