Liverpool Feds exited the Women's FA Cup in dramatic fashion as West Bromwich Albion triumphed in a five-goal thriller at Jericho Lane.
The Feds began their cup run in November, beating Fleetwood Town 5-1 before comfortably dispatching local rivals Merseyrail Ladies last time out. Leanne Duffy's side took to the field on Sunday knowing victory over the Baggies would see them take on Women's Super League outfit Brighton in the fourth round.
It was West Brom who made the brighter start to the contest; Lizzie Bennett-Steele floating a beautifully weighted ball into the path of striker Mariam Mahmood, who coolly chipped the ball over the on-rushing Rachel Darbyshire to give the visitors the lead inside 10 minutes. Liverpool Feds restored parity after half an hour through defender Ellie Stewart, who nodded home Mollie Farley's superb corner-kick delivery.
