Lindsay Johnson
Ex-England defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIt is unfortunate for Villa because they have grown into the game, but they have not offered enough going forward.
They have not been threatening enough or creative enough. They haven't made many, if any, clear chances in this second half.
Liverpool always looked like they had a counter attack in them and that is exactly what they did for the second goal.

'Great turn and finish from Flint'published at 20:27 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

Lindsay Johnson
Ex-England defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIt all started with Nagano intercepting a pass in the Liverpool half. She then plays Lawley down the channel, and the winger makes a great burst towards the box.
When the ball does come in to Flint it looked like she had a lot of work to do, but she turns the Villa defenders with ease and slots the ball into the bottom corner.
Van Domselaar can't get down quickly enough, great finish from Flint.

Liverpool are the only side in the WSL not to concede a goal and it's easy to see why.
They are solid at the back and Villa are finding it very hard to break them down.

Lindsay Johnson
Ex-England defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraThere's space down the left hand side for Liverpool, Pacheco is getting forward so the space is opening up over there for them to exploit.

Taylor Hinds was booked after she took 20 seconds to take the free-kick.
Alex Greenwood was shown a second yellow for taking 26 seconds earlier.
It's certainly something that will be focused on in the WSL as the referees crack down on time wasting and similar offences.
