Holland double seals Liverpool win over Brighton

F4S Staff


Liverpool are now nine points ahead of bottom-placed Leicester City after beating Brighton

Ceri Holland’s second-half double saw Liverpool edge past Brighton and move closer to Women’s Super League safety.

Brighton had taken a first-half lead through Elisabeth Terland, who chipped Rachael Laws from distance.

But Liverpool were dominant and continually placed Brighton under pressure.

Holland tapped home a Shanice van de Sanden cross before making the most of a failed Emma Kullberg clearance to seal victory.

The Reds are now nine points clear of the drop zone with five games left to play.

Brighton, who have been much-improved under new boss Melissa Phillips, are only two points off the drop zone.
