Match report: LFC Women end season with Merseyside derby success

Vicky Jepson’s side produced a confident performance at Prenton Park on their final outing of 2018-19 and won through first-half goals from Courtney Sweetman-Kirk and Niamh Charles, and Amy Rodgers’ late third.

The Reds were already assured of an eighth-place finish in the Women’s Super League regardless of the result, but will be buoyed by a positive conclusion to a difficult season.

In front of a crowd of 1,842, Liverpool made the brighter start in the derby but it was the Blues who first went close, Angharad James’ drive from 25 yards flying the wrong side of the left post.
