Liverpool took a huge step towards top-flight survival with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the Women's Super League.
The Reds started the day in eighth - two places and two points above their visitors -and took to the field at Prenton Park looking to bounce back from consecutive defeats to Leicester and Arsenal. Spurs meanwhile went into Sunday's clash having lost their last eight games in the WSL, though Rehanne Skinner's side did beat Liverpool 1-0 in the reverse fixture back in October.
Matt Beard made three changes to the side that fell to defeat at Meadow Park in midweek, with six of his senior players still sidelined with injury. Spurs, however, saw their attacking ranks bolstered by the return of star striker Bethany England, who, ahead of kick-off, had notched three goals in three appearances for the club since making a January switch from Chelsea to Brisbane Road.
