LFC Women reaction: Important win, first goals and improving form
Matt Beard was delighted to see summer signing Leanne Kiernan score her first goals for Liverpool FC Women during Sunday's 2-0 win at Coventry United Ladies.
The away victory lifted the Reds up to third in the FA Women’s Championship table, just two points behind early-season leaders Durham.
After a goalless first half against Coventry, manager Beard made a tactical switch for the second period and it paid off handsomely.
Substitute Rachel Furness provided a telling cross that was met by a brilliant diving header from Kiernan to break the deadlock on 69 minutes.
Four minutes later, the No.9 latched on to a fine pass from Leighanne Robe to add her second of the afternoon.
