Liverpool's wait for a WSL win finally comes to an end, and it's a result that will have delighted Reds fans. Despite a rocky start to the season, Liverpool FC Women earned three valuable points against Tottenham Hotspur Women at Goodison Park. Mia Enderby was instrumental in both goals, scoring in the 94th minute before slotting home just seconds later.
Enderby's second goal encapsulates what makes this team tick โ intensity and focus under pressure. In a match that had seemed destined for stalemate, Liverpool's high-intensity approach finally paid off as they outmuscled their opponents. The win takes them within touching distance of West Ham, Leicester, and Everton, with 16 points separating them from the top spot.
Manager Gareth Taylor was effusive in his praise for his team, stating that the victory was "really satisfying" and that the players had shown what they were capable of when they wanted to. This result marks a turning point for Liverpool FC Women, who have gradually improved as the season has progressed.
The win also leaves Arsenal with the daunting task of finding their fire and focus in order to challenge for the title. Despite several key squad members being absent through injury and suspension, Renรฉe Slegers' team were able to secure a dominant 2-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. However, five draws this season have already done significant damage to their chances.
Meanwhile, Manchester City Women continue to dominate the division with a 4-1 win against Aston Villa Women. Bunny Shaw's late strike sealed the victory and marked a significant turning point in the match as Manchester City secured nine points clear at the top of the table.

As the season enters its final stages, every team is under pressure to deliver results. The question on everyone's lips now is: can Liverpool FC Women and Arsenal challenge for the title? Can Manchester City maintain their lead, or will others close the gap?
