Katie Stengel on target again as Liverpool end long wait for second WSL win of the season against West Ham

Goals from Katie Stengel and Ceri Holland helped Liverpool ease past West Ham to claim just their second Women's Super League victory of the season.

Liverpool came into Sunday's clash looking to extend their unbeaten run to four games in all competitions, with the Reds having lost just one of their four previous Barclays WSL meetings with the Hammers. However, Paul Konchesky's side travelled to Merseyside in the hopes of securing a fifth WSL win of the season, while Liverpool had failed to register a league win since their opening day encounter with Chelsea.

Matt Beard made two changes from the side that drew at Reading, with Rachael Laws replacing Eartha Cumings in goal and Gilly Flaherty coming back into the heart of the defence. The visitors made just one change from their last-gasp win over Leicester City, with Izzy Atkinson coming in for Claudia Walker and defender Hawa Cissoko returning to the bench after serving a five-game suspension.
