Three goals in a fine first-half display laid the foundations for a thumping win over Liverpool at Emirates Stadium. After a dominant first half-hour, we scored twice in as many minutes to take control of the game. First Caitlin Foord netted from close range after the visitors failed to clear a corner, before Kim Little forced an own goal off Jasmine Matthews barely 90 seconds later. Mariona Caldentey curled home a stunner from just inside the area to make it 3-0, in a half in which Frida Maanum also hit both posts. Substitute Beth Mead was instrumental in our fourth after the break, the ball finally going in off Matthews for her second own goal of the evening. _ _ Just four days after the disappointment of losing the first leg of our Champions League quarter final in Madrid, we were back in front of the Emirates Stadium faithful, switching our attentions once again to the WSL. And we came racing out of the blocks from the first whistle. Chloe Kelly was the first to have a sight of goal, she did well to fashion a chance on her right foot but got too much elevation on her shot. It was all one-way traffic in the opening 20 minutes – Maanum also tried her luck but the angle was always against her. Then a wonderful move, starting with a Maanum backheel to Kelly on the right, ended with Alessia Russo seeing her shot deflected just the wrong side of the upright. Midway through the half we came within a whisker of breaking the deadlock. A deft flick from Russo on the edge of the area released Maanum, one-on-one with Rachael Laws, but her shot struck the post and bounced to safety. The chances were beginning to pile up, and eventually the pressure told. A corner from the right caused panic in the Liverpool defence, the ball fell to Maanum who helped it to Foord to stab home from close range. It was the Australian's 50th goal for us in her 157th appearance. No sooner had we taken the lead than we doubled our advantage. We turned the ball over inside the Liverpool half and Little raced into the penalty
