Arsenal cruised to the top of the Women's Super League table with a 2-0 win over newly-promoted Liverpool.
The Gunners came to Prenton Park in search of four straight wins to start their WSL campaign, with manager Jonas Eidevall naming the same starting 11 that so callously dispatched Lyon in the UWCL midweek. The North London club could take heart from their previous encounters with Liverpool, having won each of their last six Barclays WSL matches against the Reds, netting 20 times while conceding just three goals.
Despite Liverpool having failed to pick up a point since their opening-day triumph over Chelsea, there was the prospect of a hangover after Arsenal's exploits in France on Wednesday evening. And the hosts certainly came out on the front foot, pressing forwards from the first whistle and winning a flurry of set pieces in front of a record crowd of 3,348 at Prenton Park.
