Olivia Smith put Liverpool ahead early on, but Riko Ueki's late header earned West Ham a deserved draw at home.
A first goal for Liverpool 's club record signing Olivia Smith looked set to be enough for the Reds to win on the road before Japan international Ueki popped up. West Ham recovered to press well and eventually force the goal, but their wretched home form now extends to one win in 18 WSL games. Liverpool are hoping to build on last season's fourth-place finish and will hope Smith's strike is a sign of what is to come from the 20-year-old.
They turned the ball over as West Ham tried to play out, with Smith running into the area, chopping inside on to her left foot and curling into the far corner. A low cross from Smith nearly brought about a second for the visitors but just when they looked sure to win the game Ueki beat Liverpool goalkeeper Rachael Laws to a ball over the top to head in.After the opportunity to rate players has closed, the score displayed represents the average from all the submissions by BBC Sport users.All times UK.
