The opening weekend of the Womens Super League threw up some surprising results, with headline fixture Everton beating local rivals Liverpool 4-1, with Italian forward Ornella Vignola scoring a hat-trick on her Toffees debut. It was a disappointing afternoon for Liverpool, who failed to really get going at Goodison Park, with Nat Phillips receiving a red card on 67 minutes after a professional foul on Everton'sWITNESS MATHEWS. Any hopes of a comeback were extinguished two minutes later, when Vignola completed her hat-trick with a fine finish.

There were also opening weekend wins for Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United, who defeated Brighton & Hove Albion, Aston Villa, and Birmingham City respectively. The Blues recovered from a goal down to beat Brighton, with strike partners Erin Cuthbert and Kerr scoring not long after the restart. Arsenal proved too strong for Villa, with captain Jordan Nobbs and new signing Teyah Goldie getting on the scoresheet, and Manchester United won a predictable contest with Birmingham, the result already foreshadowing a difficult season for the Blues.

This sets the tone for what promises to be a fascinating WSL season, and the next round of fixtures promises to be just as exciting, with the Manchester derby next Sunday.
