Liverpool Women suffered their third WSL defeat in a row, as Man United Women beat the Reds 2-0 at St Helen’s Stadium. Liverpool couldn’t get out of their own half for much of the first period and only managed 32 percent possession, with Roman Haug isolated up front.

Liverpool’s brief renaissance wasn’t to last, though, as Man United broke and doubled their lead thanks to a calm finish from Ella Toone in added time. Half time: Liverpool Women 0-2 Man United Women With the system evidently not working, coach Taylor replaced Roman Haug at half time with the quicker and more agile striker, Mia Enderby.

An hour in, Clark replaced Gemma Evans at centre-back, and moments later Liverpool had a chance to pull one back, but Kapocs put her one-on-one finish wide of the goalkeeper’s left-hand post.
