Katja Snoeijs achieves feat not seen in 26 years in Everton Women demolition of Liverpool
Everton Women continued their tradition of winning at Anfield in a 4-1 victory over Liverpool to open their WSL season on Sunday.
Despite the Reds taking an early lead, the Toffees completely turned the match on its head.
Ornella Vignola, who signed for Everton this summer, scored a hat-trick on her debut in a highly impressive performance.
In between her goals, Katja Snoeijs found the net just before half-time to give the visitors the lead in the Merseyside derby.
Now, the 29-year-old has achieved a stunning feat against Liverpool that hasn’t been seen since 1999.
