Match report: Leanne Kiernan double sees LFC Women defeat Lewes

Liverpool FC Women made it seven games unbeaten as Leanne Kiernan's double secured a 2-0 victory over Lewes FC on Sunday afternoon.

The in-form Kiernan continued her excellent streak in front of goal with a pair of first-half strikes that proved enough for three points in a contest at Prenton Park that saw ample chances for both teams throughout.

The result means Matt Beard’s Reds remain in second place in the FA Women’s Championship, two points behind Durham after their win against London City Lionesses.

Back in action after two-and-a-half weeks without a match, Liverpool grew into the encounter well and an early free-kick from Missy Bo Kearns deflected off the wall and just past the post.
