Izzy Christiansen's early strike gave Everton Women the Merseyside derby bragging rights at Walton Hall Park - and kept alive their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Continental Cup.

Christiansen opened the scoring on five minutes when she found the bottom corner after good work from Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah.

Everton had further chances to extend their advantage - most notably through Hayley Raso, Nicoline Sorensen and Grace Clinton - but Christiansen's strike proved enough to seal the three points.
