Matt Beard has branded Liverpool midfielder Ceri Holland "world class" after her goal helped the Reds to pick up three points against West Ham in the Women's Super League.
Liverpool made a bright start to the contest at Prenton Park, Holland pouncing on an error at the back and slotting the ball home to give the hosts the lead. Both Emma Koivisto and Gilly Flaherty came close before top-scorer Katie Stengel bagged her sixth goal of the season with a cool finish into the bottom corner.
The Reds could have had more, Holland's curling shot palmed away by Mackenzie Arnold shortly before the break to keep West Ham in the game. Paul Konchesky's side failed to register a single shot in the first half but proved more threatening after the interval, Dagny Brynjarsdottir forcing Rachael Laws into a brilliant stop late on to ensure Liverpool claimed their second WSL win of the season.
