Crystal Palace against Liverpool: women super league statistics and head to head

Crystal Palace's hopes to avoid the descent from the Super League of women were bowed by Liverpool by the home accident on Sunday.

Jasmine Matthews' strike in the first half was enough to give Amber Whiteley after Matt Beard's departure on Thursday in her second stint as a Liverpool Interim Manager.

The Palace, which lies at the table with only six points from 15 games, also had a new face in Leif Smerud, which replaced Laura Kaminski on Friday.

Liverpool should have continued after four minutes, but Marie-Therese Hobinger could only go far away if she remains completely unmarked on the long post.

Matthews did not make such a mistake six minutes later when she broke the ball past Shae Yanez in the palace goal after the hosts could not clarify a corner.

Palace waited until the blow of the half was threatened by visitors. The Rachael laws laid a good rescue with their legs to refuse Abbie Larkin's rifle effort.

Cornelia Kapocs had a clear chance to double the advantage of Liverpool shortly after the break, but could only shoot the goal over the crossbar on the route.

My Cato saw her targeted effort blocked when Palace pushed for a leveler before the Swedish midfielder almost turned into her own network while trying to clear a ball over the goal.

Palace continued to urge Cato, which forced the law into intelligent double savings, but could not be able to wait for a second win in the WSL, and at the end of the table there was four points from safety.

Victory moves Liverpool in sixth place with 18 points after 15 games and will not have permanently harmed Whiteley's hopes of being appointed manager.
