Matt Beard was full of praise for January signing Fuka Nagano after the midfielder helped to inspire an impressive Liverpool comeback against Tottenham in the Women's Super League.
The Reds fell behind through Rosella Ayane's 17th-minute strike before Emma Koivisto's deflected effort restored parity at Prenton Park. Missy Bo Kearns then capitalised on a spell of Liverpool pressure by slotting what turned out to be the winning goal on the 35-minute mark.
It was Nagano's composure inside the penalty area, though, that proved decisive in the build up; the Japan international playing a sublime ball through to Koivisto who cut the ball back into Kearns' path. It was yet another example of the Nagano's excellent pedigree, with Matt Beard once again effusive about the 24-year-old's quality.
