Courtney Sweetman-Kirk wants to recreate a bit of Mohamed Salah magic in Merseyside derby

LIVERPOOL star Courtney Sweetman-Kirk wants to recreate a bit of Mohamed Salah magic in front of the Kop tomorrow.

The striker, who turns 29 today, will fulfil a childhood dream when she runs out at Anfield for the Merseyside derby.

A 20,000-plus crowd is expected for the historic clash against Everton — part of the FA’s Women’s Football Weekend.

Sweetman-Kirk said: “I come to a lot of games here to watch the men and it is a ground with an electric atmosphere.

“I remember Mo Salah’s goal against Chelsea — cut in, top bin, and the crowd went mad.

"That’s probably one of my best memories of last season.

“It’s massive to play here. As a kid you dream about it."

The Liverpool striker added: “It’s going to be a massive occasion.

"This derby is huge for the club and a big step forward in terms of women’s integration as well.”

The Reds, who usually play home games at Tranmere, are bottom of the WSL while Everton are fifth.

But Sweetman-Kirk added: “A derby could be a huge catalyst for us.”
