ARSENAL ENJOYED A 3-0 win over Liverpool to close the gap on the top two in the FA Women’s Super League 1 (WSL1) tonight.

Ireland internationals Louise Quinn and Katie McCabe both started for the Gunners, and the latter scored a goal to remember.

With 65 minutes played, the former Raheny United winger controlled the ball on the edge of the box before drilling it into the top corner.
