Manchester United Women travelled to Liverpool to take on Everton at Goodison Park.
First half
The away side had the first shot on target when Spaniard Andrea Medina‘s curled effort was stopped by the keeper.
After 16 minutes, Ella Toone found herself on the edge of the area, but she could not twist away to fire a shot at goal.
United consistently won the ball high up the pitch and controlled possession, but struggled to create any real chances.
It took Everton until the half-hour mark to have their first real attack at goal, but the ball was easily headed out by the United defence.
In a rather subdued match, Ornella Vignola had Everton’s first shot on goal after spinning on the edge of the area, but Phallon Tullis-Joyce handled the effort with ease.
Just before the end of the first half, former Red Devil Hannah Blundell almost haunted her former side on Halloween, but Tullis-Joyce pulled off an impressive stop to pluck it out of the top corner.
The whistle blew and brought an end to a rather dull first half.
Second half
Vignola had the first attempt of the second half, and it almost trickled through her, but luckily she was able to recover the ball.
On 74 minutes, Simi Awujo attempted a long-range effort, but it drifted well wide of the goal.
After 77 minutes, Medina had the best chance of the half up to that point when she was slid in, but hit the ball right at the keeper.
Neither side could create anything of note in the final 15 minutes, including added time, and the match ended 0-0.
