A header from the Everton captain Megan Finnigan settled the Merseyside derby and ended Liverpool’s 100% Women’s Super League record in the process. Matt Beard’s side had defeated Arsenal and Aston Villa in the opening two league matches, and started brightly against Everton but soon lost their spark. Everton, on the other hand, came into the match pointless and took time to grow into the match but once Finnigan had given them the lead, they were deserved winners. Courtney Brosnan, in the Everton goal, was rarely tested as the Toffees comfortably saw out the second half to secure their second win at Anfield in as many years. Leicester City earned their first ever point against Manchester United after holding on to draw 1-1. Willie Kirk’s second-placed side have seven points from three games, level with leaders Manchester City, who thrashed Bristol City 5-0, and also with title holders Chelsea, who beat West Ham United 2-0 on Saturday. United are fifth on five points. Aileen Whelan, the Leicester captain, struck at the far post from a free kick in the 60th minute to give the visitors a surprise lead, having frustrated their hosts for an hour. However, Maya Le Tissier equalised seven minutes later when she headed home Katie Zelem’s corner to the delight of the home fans. Leicester have been a revelation early this campaign, unbeaten in their first three games after a 10th-placed finish last season. “Most teams outside of the top four have that inferiority complex,” said Kirk. “Our players never believed in themselves in the first half.” United were relentless in attack, narrowly missing two brilliant chances in first-half stoppage time. Hinata Miyazawa saw her shot cannon off the crossbar before Melvine Malard headed the rebound over, cradling her head in disbelief. United lost Gabby George early in the game with what appeared to be a serious injury, the defender immediately waving for help when she fell. “It doesn’t look like a good one,” Marc Skinner, the manager, said. “It’s something we’re going to work on with Gabby but we will wait and see the final assessment.” Mary Earps, the England goalkeeper, was honoured before the game as she made her 100th appearance for United. Earps made news earlier in the week when Nike finally released her national team replica jersey after widespread criticism for not selling the popular Women’s World Cup finalist’s shirt before the tournament. The 30-year-old said in an Instagram post that the jersey sold out on Monday, the same day it was released. Manchester City, meanwhile, registered the most emphatic win of the weekend. Jill Roord and Khadija “Bunny” Shaw both netted twice against Bristol City, with Laia Aleixandri also on the scoresheet. “Jill and Bunny being in the right positions to score goals was impressive,” said Gareth Taylor, the Manchester City manager, afterwards. “[It was] a very good display, we saw a lot of what we want to see from a City team.”
