LFC Women top Continental League Cup group by beating Blackburn

Liverpool FC Women moved to the top of their Continental League Cup group with a 2-1 win against Blackburn Rovers Ladies on Wednesday night.

The Reds stretched their unbeaten run in all competitions to 11 games as goals in either half from Jade Bailey and Taylor Hinds – both via Missy Bo Kearns set-pieces – secured all three points for Matt Beard’s side despite a late response by Aimee Hodgson.

The victory increased LFC Women’s points tally in Group A to seven, with one fixture remaining – away at Sunderland next month.

With this the Reds’ second of three matches within a week, Beard shuffled his options and only Yana Daniels and Rhiannon Roberts retained their place in the XI from Sunday’s 2-0 win at Durham.
