Leighanne Robe scored a hat-trick as Liverpool FC Women moved into round five of the Vitality Women’s FA Cup with a 6-0 rout of Lincoln City Women.
The Reds dominated their fourth-tier opposition from first whistle to last at Prenton Park but had to wait until the 40th minute to take the lead through defender Robe, who had never previously netted for the club.
A second Robe header and a clinical finish from Katie Stengel made it 3-0 by half-time of Sunday’s fourth-round tie, for which Matt Beard made seven changes to his starting line-up.
Meikayla Moore’s attempted cross went in shortly before the hour, with Robe - who also hit the woodwork twice - then completing her treble from the penalty spot.
