Highlights: Liverpool FC Women 0-1 West Ham | Narrow WSL Defeat
Liverpool FC Women suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to West Ham United at St. Helen Stadium, ending their great unbeaten run at home. The decisive goal came early from a West Ham corner that was deflected in as an own goal by Cornelia Kapox.
Summary
Liverpool FC Women played their final regular league game at St. Helen Stadium before their final home league match against Arsenal at Anfield. Manager Gareth Taylor made five changes from the previous cup win, with Kerry Holland returning to the lineup and Alice Bergstrom playing further forward in attack. The match began with birthday celebrations for goalkeeper Jennifer Faulk. West Ham, managed by Rita Gorani and sitting four points behind Liverpool in the table, struck early through a deflected corner that resulted in an own goal by Cornelia Kapox. Despite the early setback, Liverpool created numerous opportunities throughout the match. Kerry Holland, described as arguably the player of the season, was particularly active in attack alongside the Holland-Benabi partnership down the left side. Liverpool came close to equalizing on several occasions, with Grace Fisk hitting a header that was cleared off the line and Kapox nearly redeeming herself with a great chance to score. Substitute Anna Yosandal also had good opportunities after coming on. Jennifer Faulk made several important saves to keep Liverpool in the game, including a crucial stop when West Ham threatened to double their lead. Despite Liverpool's sustained pressure and creating enough chances to score two or three goals on another day, they were unable to find an equalizer, with West Ham taking all three points in a 1-0 victory that ended Liverpool's unbeaten run at St. Helen Stadium.
