Julia Zigiotti ventures into the box and latches on to the cross from Anna Sandberg but the Sweden international can't put it on target.

That's a bold move to bring Ruby Mace on considering she just signed for the club, but I'm sure she'll slot right in.

Well if Brian Sorensen's half time interview message of "start better" was not enough to show you how he's feeling after that first half, then his three half times subs do.

Record signing Ruby Mace is on alongside Clare Wheeler and Karen Holmgaard.

Honoka Hayashi, Hayley Ladd and debutant Katie Robinson are hooked off.

Back under way at Anfield.

The rain is pouring down now and the ball isn't rolling as nicely as it was in the first half.

The ball is back rolling.

Back under way in Leigh.

Everton's goals have been slightly against the run of play. Ornella Vignola had some fantastic one-v-one attacking and it was a fantastic finish.

Again, they were really patient and trying to find the spaces and Liverpool are switching off and Everton have paid off with that goal.

I think my question is, how do Liverpool respond? They don't have the same squad depth Everton have, so who's going to go deeper and who's going to control this game? It'll be an interesting team talk at half-time for Gareth Taylor.

Well that was a first half very, very short on quality.

13 shots at goal between the sides but only 1 hit the target.

Tottenham registered just 0.27 xG, while West Ham weren't much better with 0.49.

The average position map for the two teams, Tottenham in black and West Ham in purple, sums it up really.

Two very lonely goalkeepers in that first 45 minutes.

The stadium announcer was just reading some birthdays out.

Clearly the requests came in before Grace Clinton left for Manchester City as one of the fans whose birthday it was had said Clinton was their favourite player.

It was the trigger for boos from the Manchester United fans.

Leicester have not had a shot on target so far in this game.

You have to feel for Liverpool. They dominated for large parts of that first half, dominated the majority of the attacking metrics, they even hit the woodwork twice!

They also defended well for the most part too with some crucial late challenges. But they find themselves behind.

A penny for the thoughts of new boss Gareth Taylor.

It was an exciting finish. To go in 2-1 up and score in the way Everton did, I think they'll have a lot of confidence from that and take that into the second half because there were long spells where they looked out of the game but managed to claw themselves back in.

Still everything to play for. It's all square at the break.

The scoreline doesn't really reflect the performances. Liverpool have dominated Everton for large spells.

They have had more touches in the opposition box (23 to Everton's six), more passes in the final third (68 to 27) and more possession with 58%.

But there's only one stat that counts. Everton 2-1 Liverpool.

The ball works its way into the box to Michelle Agyemang. She takes a touch and fires at goal with her left foot but the shot is well blocked.

Villa's defence is standing firm so far.

Its a lovely delivery into the area and Katja Snoeijs does really well to meet it first. That's something in terms of determination, for me, wanting to get there first.

She deserved that.

Well it's hard to argue that they fully deserve it but Everton lead across town at the break.
