Liverpool FC Women moved to the top of the FA Women’s Championship after an excellent 2-0 victory over Sheffield United in front of 4,100 fans at Bramall Lane.
First-half goals from Charlotte Wardlaw – her first for the club – and Leanne Kiernan’s third in two games did the damage for Matt Beard’s side, who then managed the game well in the second period.
The result sees the Reds move up into first place and one point clear of Durham Women, who face Sunderland on Sunday afternoon.
Beard made three changes from the win at Crystal Palace, with captain Niamh Fahey drafted into defence, Rachel Furness joining midfield and Yana Daniels making her first start since her return to the club on the wing.
