Match report: LFC Women 3-1 Manchester United Women

Liverpool FC Women came from a goal down to beat Manchester United Women 3-1 in their opening match of the Continental Cup on Wednesday.

Vicky Jepson’s side trailed in the Group C tie at Prenton Park after Abbie McManus put United ahead with a header the Reds argued came from an offside position.

But their reaction was outstanding and they overturned the scoreline against the Women’s Super League outfit with penalties in either half.

Rachel Furness stroked home the first to equalise before the break, and substitute Rinsola Babajide edged them in front when Jess Clarke was tripped.
