Match report: Coventry United Ladies 1-2 LFC Women

Liverpool FC Women moved to the top of the FA Women's Championship with a 2-1 win at Coventry United Ladies on Sunday.

Melissa Lawley and Amalie Thestrup got the goals for the Reds in the first half and a late response by Becky Anderson was not enough to deny them a third victory in four league games so far this term.

Vicky Jepson’s side therefore rose to first in the division on 10 points, two clear of Durham FC Women after their draw at Leicester City.

The Reds – for whom Leighanne Robe clocked up a 50th appearance on the day – made a bright start at Butts Park Arena and needed only 11 minutes to get themselves in front.
