Report: LFC Women beat Sheffield United in thrilling contest

Liverpool FC Women extended their unbeaten run to seven games in the FA Women’s Championship by beating Sheffield United 1-0 away from home on Sunday.

Amalie Thestrup's close-range finish after half an hour secured victory for the Reds and saw them leapfrog their opponents up to third in the league standings.

Liverpool goalkeeper Rylee Foster was the hero as she saved a 91st-minute penalty – the last of three awarded during the game – to secure the three points.

Seven minutes prior to Thestrup's opener, Sheffield United missed their first spot-kick when Katie Wilknson's effort clipped the post and went behind.
