Lia Walti hailed an “experienced” Arsenal performance as the midfielder helped the Gunners cruise to a 2-0 victory over newly-promoted Liverpool in the Women’s Super League.
The Switzerland captain put the visitors ahead within 15 minutes in front of a record crowd at Prenton Park, firing a sweetly struck volley past a helpless Rachael Laws in goal. Arsenal travelled to Merseyside looking to make it four straight wins to start their WSL campaign, with manager Jonas Eidevall naming the same starting lineup that callously dispatched Lyon in the UEFA Women's Champions League in midweek.
The North London club could take heart from their previous encounters with Liverpool, having won each of their last six WSL matches against the Reds, netting 20 times while conceding just three goals. And, after a bright start for the hosts, Arsenal quickly grew into the game.
