MBM report: Can Arsenal extend their perfect start in the WSL at Prenton Park? Find out with Daniel Harris.
39 min Daniels wins a second ball with a fine header and Hinds has space down the right. 21 min Liverpool try to play out but Arsenal stop them, and Matthews’ hump ends up with Zinsberger. That makes sense – and it’s working – but I wonder if we’ll see the latter at centre-forward at some point. 56 min On Liverpool, I should say that I like what they’re trying to do, playing out from the back and seeking to impose their game. 48 min Campbell finds Stengel who crosses, and when Foord has a swipe and misses, Liverpool appeal for handball! Though as I type that, I remember that they started the first half slowly, Maanum spreads to Foord, and a beautifully-weighted ball in behind releases Blackstenius! but Foord goes to soon and is offside. 57 min Little wriggles down the left and finds Foord who, with noting on, goes backwards and Arsenal probe … and Laws makes a fine save, coming out, making herself big, and thrusting up a hand to paw the ball away from her face. 66 min Liverpool get the corner away, then win a throw which Campbell takes from more or less in the stand. But Wubben-Moy is up with Flaherty and does enough, the ball flicking off her back and flying behind. 75 min And this time the delivery is good!
A look ahead to our next WSL fixture as we take on newly-promoted Liverpool at Prenton Park.
- The Gunners have won 11 consecutive WSL matches and we would match the league record with a victory at Prenton Park. Matt Beard on us: “This is why we want to be in this league: to be testing ourselves up against the best teams. We know we have to put in a strong performance.” For me, I’m always looking for how the players respond in actions, I think you could see when Viv came on against Lyon that she put a lot of energy into those minutes and really tried to help the team.” They have lost their last two league matches against Everton and Spurs, failing to score in the process. The team from Merseyside have won the WSL title twice before – consecutively in 2013 and 2014 – but soon proceeded to drop off from the leading pack of Chelsea, Manchester City and ourselves.

Liverpool were defeated 2-0 by WSL leaders Arsenal in front of a record crowd at Prenton Park.
To Liverpool’s credit, they battled on and had a few decent passages of play without troubling Arsenal goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger. Under a wave of Arsenal pressure, Liverpool seemed to lose their early composure and quickly found themselves 2-0 down after a goal from Frida Maanum. A tantalising cross played across the face of goal just evaded a stretching Caitlin Foord before a superb volley from Lia Walti gave the visitors the lead inside 15 minutes. The visitors could have added to their tally too, with Foord’s curling finish careering off the post and captain Kim Little sending a shot well over the bar. The Reds made two changes from the side that started last week against Spurs, with Ceri Holland in for Missy Bo Kearns and Megan Campbell replacing Rachel Furness. Liverpool could take little heart from their previous clashes with the North London club, having lost each of their last six Barclays WSL matches against Arsenal, netting just three times while conceding 20 goals.

The defender again saw a half-volley saved from distance in the closing stages of the contest though it was as close as Liverpool would come to getting on the scoresheet. Katie Stengel saw a shot on the turn fall wide of the post a short while later and made her presence felt aerially in an attempt to unsettle proceedings. Emma Stina Blackstenius saw a cross a short while later almost find the run of Caitlin Foord inside the box, but it was a set-piece that resulted in the Gunners opening the scoring.
