"It took Daly just 27 seconds to break the deadlock; Faye Kirby made a mess of a clearance, and the Villa captain backtracked before curling the ball into the empty net from outside the box. Daly then slid in to poke another effort wide from an offside position shortly after, but Hanson added their second in the 28th minute. Grant raced in behind to square it into the box, and Hanson raced forward to fire it past Kirby first time."
"Villa then rounded off the scoring 13 minutes from time when they won the ball back high up the pitch; Kirby was equal to Ebony Salmon's low drive, but Daly was on hand to poke it in from close range after beating Jenna Clark to the loose ball. Lucy Staniforth almost added some late gloss on her return from a long lay-off, but her left-sided free-kick looped onto the top of the crossbar in stoppage time."
"Data Debrief: Hanson's red-hot form continues Daly got her much-needed first goals of the campaign, leading by example with three shots, while scoring with both of her attempts on target. However, Hanson has now scored four goals against Liverpool, her joint-best tally against a single opponent (level with Tottenham), and has netted in four of her last five outings versus the Reds."
Rachel Daly scored her first two goals of the season as Aston Villa beat bottom-of-the-table Liverpool 3-0 in the Women's Super League. Daly opened the scoring after 27 seconds and added a late close-range finish after Villa won the ball high up the pitch. Kirsty Hanson scored in the 28th minute and Villa recorded their first clean sheet of the campaign. Maya Hijikata hit the woodwork and Lucy Staniforth struck the crossbar on her return. Hanson has four goals against Liverpool and has scored in four of her last five outings versus the Reds.
