Vicky Jepson on beating Man Utd: 'I'm so proud of every one of them'

Liverpool FC Women manager Vicky Jepson detailed her immense pride at seeing her side battle back from a goal down to beat Manchester United 3-1 at Prenton Park on Wednesday afternoon.

It was the perfect start for the Reds in their opening Continental Cup Group C game.

Trailing to a goal from Abbie McManus, Jepson’s side levelled before the interval when Rachel Furness converted from the penalty spot.

Rinsola Babajide then took on spot-kick responsibilities to make it 2-1 after Jess Clarke was brought down, and Furness put the tie beyond United with a superb header from a corner.
