"Much has been said about Liverpool's performances this season, but Cornelia Kapocs really seems to have grown into her role at Anfield. Liverpool have scored few goals this season, under the bright lights of Anfield, it would have been easy to seize up, but Kapocs stepped up. She headed home from a lovely, teasing cross by Ceri Holland and showed why she is such a nascent youngster in this Liverpool team."
"Having the strength of character to come from a goal behind at Anfield, albeit against a shaky Liverpool team has to be cause for optimism for Man City manager Andree Jeglertz. City weren't at their best for large portions of this game, but showed a mentality that will keep them in the hunt as title contenders. Amid a team with experienced world-class talent, the likes of Bunny Shaw and Alex Greenwood, it will be pleasing to see the youngsters stepping up in the big moments."
Liverpool remain without a point in the WSL after a 2-1 home defeat by Manchester City at Anfield. Cornelia Kapocs opened the scoring with a header from Ceri Holland's cross, adding to her earlier season goals and demonstrating growing confidence as Liverpool's attacking option. Manchester City recovered through 19-year-old Iman Beney's equaliser and Aoba Fujina's winner, with young players contributing amid a squad of experienced internationals. City were not at their best for long spells but displayed resilience and mentality to overturn the deficit and maintain title-challenge credentials. Liverpool sit eleventh, above only West Ham, and require greater consistency in attack.
