Liverpool Women move top of Continental Cup group with 4-0 win over Leicester City

Liverpool Women cruised past Leicester City 4-0 on Wednesday night to move top of group B in the FA Women's Continental League Cup.

Matt Beard made eight changes to the side that fell to a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in the league at the weekend. 18-year-old Hannah Silcock was named in the starting line-up for the second time this season alongside Jasmine Matthews in the heart of the defence.

Carla Humphrey and Charlotte Wardlaw both made their second starts of the campaign, while Missy Bo Kearns returned to the fold after being named on the bench against the Gunners on Sunday. Liverpool dominated proceedings in the early stages at the Pirelli Stadium and it didn't take them long to find a breakthrough as Kearns fired them in front after 14 minutes.
