Liverpool midfielder Missy Bo Kearns was left "speechless" after a stunning new mural was unveiled in her honour.
The 22-year-old has been a standout performer for the Reds this term, having notched four goals in 20 appearances to help the club secure Women's Super League survival in their first season back in the top flight. And Kearns has now become the first Liverpool Women's player to have a mural comissioned in the city.
The mural, which adorns the side of a house on Tancred Road in Anfield, depicts Kearns kissing the Women’s Championship trophy as a young fan watches on. Commissioned by Liverpool FC Women Supporters Club and paid for by the Welcome Back Fund, the impressive work of art was painted by local artist Paul Curtis, who is also the mastermind behind a number of other Liverpool FC-related murals across the city.

Kearns, a Liverpool native, has been on the club's books since the age of eight and has successfully progressed through the ranks with Liverpool while also being capped by England at U23 level.
After visiting the mural on Tuesday the midfielder took to social media to express her pride at the stunning tribute.
Posting on Twitter, she wrote: "Wow speechless. Thank you to every one of you who made this possible."
Kearns' second-half strike helped Liverpool to a surprise victory over Champions League-chasing Manchester City last time out in the WSL, with the Reds now sitting seventh in the table. Matt Beard's side will travel to fifth-placed Aston Villa this weekend before hosting league leaders Manchester United at Prenton Park in the final game of the season on May 27.
