Ceri Holland inspires Liverpool comeback as Reds close in on WSL survival

A Ceri Holland double helped Liverpool come from behind to triumph over Brighton in the Women's Super League on Sunday afternoon to help continue their survival in the league.

Matt Beard made three changes to the side that were held to a goalless draw at West Ham last time out, with striker Natasha Dowie making her first competitive start since joining the Reds on loan in January. Brighton, meanwhile, were unchanged from the side that edged Everton in a five-goal thriller in midweek, with the Seagulls having looked like a side transformed since the arrival of new head coach Melissa Phillips.

Liverpool's first chance of the game came after 10 minutes, with Dowie drilling an effort straight into the gloves of Lydia Williams after an excellent lofted delivery into the box from Missy Bo Kearns. Brighton grew into the game, though, with Leighanne Robe making some crucial interceptions to twice deny the dangerous Veatriki Sarri from getting her shot away inside Liverpool's 18-yard box.
