Miquel's Leicester can look up after Liverpool win

It's safe to say the 2024-25 Women's Super League campaign has been a frustrating one for Leicester City as they find themselves in the middle of a relegation scrap.

But Sunday's win - only their second of the campaign - against Liverpool could prove to be a turning point in the Foxes' season.

They had to do it the hard way after going behind inside three minutes to an Olivia Smith goal before captain Janice Cayman and Missy Goodwin struck later in the first half to secure the comeback victory.

The result not only moved them four points clear of bottom side Crystal Palace, who lost 3-2 to Tottenham earlier in the day, but also gives them some much-needed momentum heading into an important set of fixtures.

Up next for Amandine Miquel's side in the WSL are games against Everton and Aston Villa - two sides who sit only one point above them.

A first start of the season for forward Shannon O'Brien following her knee surgery is also a welcome sign for Leicester, who had only scored three goals in the league before Sunday.

With an uptick in form and key players returning from injury, Miquel's side will now hope to make up places in the table in what could be a crucial juncture of their 2024-25 season.
