Match report: Liverpool FC Women held to draw by Blackburn Rovers

Liverpool FC Women were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers Ladies at Prenton Park on Sunday evening.

A well-taken goal from Missy Bo Kearns in the first half had given the Reds the lead and put them on course to record their fourth straight win in the FA Women's Championship.

But Blackburn claimed a point when Elise Hughes netted an equaliser from close range right on the hour mark.

Despite the disappointment at failing to secure victory, Liverpool are now unbeaten in their last five fixtures under interim boss Amber Whiteley.

There was an open feel to the start of the contest, which was played in a swirling wind and heavy rain showers.
