Caroline Weir stars as Ladies beat Doncaster

Liverpool Ladies returned to winning ways and kept up their bid for a third-place finish in the Women's Super League with a 3-1 victory over Doncaster Rovers Belles on Sunday.

The Reds bounced back from defeat to their rivals for third - Birmingham City - last time out, as Caroline Weir bagged a brace and Natasha Harding also got on the scoresheet in a come-from-behind victory.

Scott Rogers' side were up against it from the off at the Keepmoat Stadium, losing midfielder Laura Coombs to injury after just 13 minutes.

And things went from bad to worse as the hosts carved out an early lead when a wicked set-piece delivery from the right-hand side was met by Rhiannon Roberts, who produced a flicked header into the far corner.
