The 25-year-old Swedish midfielder made it 1–0 at Anfield as early as the twelfth minute. But the joy was short-lived for the home team when Everton both managed to equalize and take the lead before the first half was over. And also made two more goals in the second half.

Kapocs, who last season was the team's best goal passer, was substituted for another Swedish player, Beata Olsson, in the middle of the second half.

There were no more Swedish goals in today's four premiere matches in the English top division.

Last season's league third Manchester United took a big win, 4–0, against Leicester. Anna Sandberg and Julia Zigiotti Olme played from the start and were substituted during the second half. New acquisition Fridolina Rolfö was not even on the bench, the attacking star is still struggling with injury problems that hindered her before the European Championship last summer.

The Swedish wing backs Josefine Rybrink and Amanda Nildén played in Tottenham's 1–0 win against West Ham. And Rosa Kafaji remained on the bench when Brighton played 0–0 against Aston Villa.
