Manchester City maintained their perfect start to the Women’s Super League season by beating Liverpool 4-2 in an entertaining match. Lauren Hemp scored twice, including a stoppage-time counterattack goal, while a late own goal secured victory after Liverpool had pushed the defending champions hard.

Hemp opened the scoring, but Liverpool responded through Alice Bergström and Vivien Endemann to lead 2-1 before Khadija Shaw equalised before half-time. City remain top and have not lost a home league point since Andrée Jeglertz became manager in 2025, while Liverpool’s spirited performance suggested significant improvement under Gareth Taylor.
