Her 92nd-minute header in front of the Kop End earned Liverpool three points that meant very little in terms of tangible reward but which meant everything to the thousands of fans inside Prenton Park.

Many of those in attendance will have been here last term too, when the reigning champions were stunned by Matt Beard’s newly-promoted Reds on the opening weekend.

But, while that result proved to be something of an anomaly in a season that was largely about consolidating Liverpool’s place in the top flight, this game - an intoxicating 4-3 comeback - feels like a line in the sand; the moment that saw the Reds resume their interest in mixing with the WSL’s elite.

The evening had got off to the worst possible start for the hosts, with Chelsea - fresh from their Champions League semi-final defeat to Barcelona - taking the lead inside nine minutes thanks to a header from striker Aggie Beever-Jones.

What came next was 40 minutes of glorious chaos that will surely see this contest anointed the WSL’s game of the season.

As both teams went in keen pursuit of the three points, Bonner gave Liverpool the lead with a deflected header before Beever-Jones bundled in her second of the night in the 80th minute.

But, just as it was starting to look like a Chelsea resurrection was on the cards, substitute Leanne Kiernan finished coolly past Hannah Hampton to restore the hosts' advantage.

Liverpool’s celebrations were swiftly curtailed by a Micah own goal seven minutes from time but, perhaps sensing that there was a chance to inflict yet another painful defeat on their title-chasing visitors, the Reds continued to press for another goal.

And, in a week where she became the first female player in Liverpool history to have a dressing room named in her honour at The Academy in Kirkby, it was only fitting that it was Bonner who made herself the hero, out-jumping everyone in blue to nod home from Hobinger’s exquisite cross.

We know within the group when we have our day then we're capable of having these results but it's just about finding about that consistency now."

Indeed, ensuring results like this are not a flash in the pan remains the biggest challenge for Liverpool going forward.



That the gap between Liverpool and the Champions League spots has narrowed from 24 points last term is a testament to the immense job executed by Beard and his players over the past eight months.
