The win ensured that City, who had already been the only WSL side to hold a 100% winning record after the opening two rounds of games, will certainly stay top of the table for at least another week. They have still not dropped any points in home league fixtures since Andrée Jeglertz took charge in the summer of 2025.

Manchester City's Lauren Hemp scored twice, including a 90th-minute goal, to help her side edge past Liverpool. The visitors had made the league leaders dig deep, and Gareth Taylor, taking on his former side, will have taken significant encouragement from his Liverpool team's performance.
