Toko Koga and Bethany England were on target as we came from behind to defeat Liverpool 2-1 on Sunday afternoon to return to winning ways in the Barclays Women’s Super League.
Making her ninth consecutive start of the season, defender Koga was in the right place at the right time, following excellent work by Olivia Holdt, to net her first goal for the Club just eight minutes after Beata Olsson fired the away side into the lead at Brisbane Road.
In a game of few chances, we needed to make the most of our opportunities and Bethany England did just that seven minutes after the break, firing us into the lead with a clinical finish from inside the box after a low cross from Amanda Nilden – her first goal in the WSL since our opening day victory over West Ham United.
A professional display from then on saw us hold onto that lead and take all three points to secure our fifth win of the campaign - already matching our haul from the entirety of last season. The result also sees us leapfrog Arsenal and move into fourth.
