Miss Kick Match Preview: Coventry United (H).

👀 A LOOK BACK: BRISTOL CITY 2-4 LIVERPOOL (Sunday, April 3rd)

Aggie Beever-Jones and Abi Harrison scored in either half for the hosts, however goals from Naimh Fahey, Jasmine Matthews, Katie Stengel and Missy Bo-Kearns secured Liverpool's return to the top-flight. 

City set a new league and club record attendance at Ashton Gate with 5,752 supporters making their way through the gates in BS3.

The league-leaders opened the scoring in the 13th minute when Liverpool captain Niamh Fahey slotted in from close range after a scramble in the City box.

Just two minutes later, Satara Murray played a pinpoint through ball to Aggie Beever-Jones, whose miscued cross looped over the helpless Rachel Laws and into the far corner of the net to bring the Robins level. 

The visitors regained the lead five minutes before the break through a familiar face to City fans as Jasmine Matthews fired in from close range after another scramble in the box.

Stengel opened up a two-goal cushion for Liverpool as she found the bottom corner with a powerful shot following yet another Campbell long throw.

City clawed their way back into the game with 20 minutes to play as Harrison bagged her 19th of the season. Ffion Morgan's delightful cross found the feet of the striker, who neatly picked out the bottom corner to bring the hosts within striking distance.

With just over 10 minutes to play, Liverpool sealed victory and with it the league title when substitute Missy Bo Kearns tapped in from inside the six-yard box.
