At the sixth time of asking, Liverpool have finally won a Women's Super League Merseyside derby at Anfield for the very first time.

On Sunday, Gareth Taylor's team beat Scott Phelan's side 2-0, in front of watching men's manager Andoni Iraola and his family.

The stadium had become something of a major problem for the women's team, not just in Merseyside derbies. Next up for Taylor's team, they will travel to Birmingham City in the WSL Players Cup on Wednesday, before meeting Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village next Saturday.
