Liverpool’s two year absence from the Women’s Super League will come to an end next season after they secured the FA Women’s Championship title and promotion back to the top flight with two games to spare. It wasn't straightforward and it was nervy at times, but a 4-2 win over their closest challengers Bristol City was enough to see them surge over the line.
The squad gathered on the touchline as the clock ticked into additional time, waiting eagerly to flood the pitch and celebrate their achievements. Despite their best efforts, there was no way back for the hosts after substitute Missy Bo Kearns buried Liverpool's fourth of the afternoon on 79 minutes and all but sealed the title.
It's been two years in the making following their relegation from the WSL in 2020. The 2019/20 season was one of mixed emotions for the club, while the men's team marched to their first Premier League title in 30 years, the women’s side found themselves battling for survival at the bottom of the WSL table.
