Match report: Reds beaten by Leicester in Women's FA Cup

Liverpool FC Women were left frustrated after exiting the Vitality Women's FA Cup in a narrow 1-0 defeat by Leicester City Women on Sunday.

A Hannah Cain goal 20 minutes from time proved the difference in a tight game of very few chances at Farley Way Stadium.

Late pressure from the Reds almost brought an equaliser but a fine save from home goalkeeper Kirstie Levell stopped the tie going into extra-time.

The fourth-round clash started as a midfield battle, with neither side really able to trouble the opposition ‘keeper.

Leicester enjoyed better territorial dominance in the early stages but Liverpool grew into the contest as the half went on.
