ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL — Liverpool Women produced a clinical performance in front of goal to beat Manchester United in the Women's Super League (WSL), with Olivia Smith starring as the Reds won at Anfield for the first time.

Liverpool, who parted ways with manager Matt Beard at the end of last month, has now won each of its three games under its interim boss Amber Whiteley.

It first won 1-0 at Crystal Palace, then qualified for the Women's FA Cup semi-finals by winning away from home at Arsenal, and has now beaten Manchester United in front of around 15,000 fans.



Winning here, Whitely became the first Liverpool Women's manager to win both of her first two matches in charge.

After being under the cosh for almost the whole half, Liverpool opened the scoring with its second shot of the game.

Canadian forward Smith, who became the first Liverpool women's player to score at Anfield last October, beat two players out wide and smashed a shot into the far corner of the USWNT's Phallon Tullis-Joyce's goal.
