Liverpool FC Women started 2019-20 with a frustrating 1-0 loss to Reading FC Women in the Women's Super League at Prenton Park on Sunday afternoon.
A stunning free-kick from ex-Red Fara Williams was enough to give the Royals the three points.
Vicky Jepson’s side created some good openings, especially in the second half, but it wasn’t to be their day in front of goal.
Going into the game Jepson handed debuts to three summer signings in Melissa Lawley, Jade Bailey and Becky Jane who lined up against her former club, while Jess Clarke was preferred to Rinsola Babajide in attack.
