Manager Matt Beard said: “I was pleased. It was good, first of all, to keep a clean sheet. Second, I thought we controlled the game pretty much with the ball, created numerous chances [and] on another day maybe we could’ve got a few more.
“But it was good to bounce back from the performance against Everton at Anfield. We won today with a clean sheet but I was really pleased with the work ethic of the team, just getting back to basics and doing the right things.
So happy to score my first goal for @liverpoolfcw today & for the team getting the win🤩♥️
A good result to take into the international break!
“As I said, we’ve created probably three or four really good chances today, converted one, not quite taken the others – but the most important thing is we’ve created.”
The goal, and win, sees Campbell depart for international duty with added confidence as Ireland prepare for a World Cup play-off with either Scotland or Austria.

Megan Campbell hits first Liverpool goal to secure Conti Cup win
MEGAN CAMPBELL SCORED her first goal for Liverpool as they beat Sunderland 1-0 in the Continental Tyres League Cup.
The Ireland international’s 22nd-minute free-kick was all that separated the sides in this opening Group B clash.
It was an important win for the Reds after their Merseyside derby defeat last time out at Anfield in the Women’s Super League.
