Match report: LFC Women claim first league win of the season

Liverpool FC Women secured an important 1-0 win over Bristol City on Sunday afternoon to move off the foot of the Women's Super League table.

Rachel Furness’ first-half goal was ultimately enough for three points for the Reds after goalkeeper Anke Preuss saved a penalty around the hour mark.

Those moments earned a first victory of the 2019-20 league campaign for Vicky Jepson’s team, who therefore leapfrogged City on goal difference as they aim to climb away from the threat of relegation.

Liverpool made a confident start to the clash at Stoke Gifford Stadium and were inches away from taking the lead within two minutes of kick-off.
