Match report: LFC Women hit six past Blackburn

After Sunday's rather unfortunate loss in the Merseyside derby at Anfield, Vicky Jepson’s charges showed tremendous character to get a deserved victory at the Sir Tom Finney Stadium in Bamber Bridge.

Rhiannon Roberts, Melissa Lawley, Rinsola Babajide, Ashley Hodson, Courtney Sweetman-Kirk and Missy Bo Kearns were all on the mark for the Reds.

Liverpool FC Women made a bright start and took the lead after nine minutes when Roberts found the net with a fine effort from a tight angle.

On 19 minutes the lead was almost doubled when Lawley fired an effort just wide following superb approach play.
