Rachel Daly scored her first two Women’s Super League goals of the season as Aston Villa cruised to a 3-0 victory and extended Liverpool’s winless run.
Liverpool’s bid for a first WSL win of the campaign got off to the worst of starts, with Daly grabbing a goal inside just 27 seconds after a mix-up between Gemma Evans and goalkeeper Faye Kirby.
An in-form Kirsty Hanson added a second for Villa before the break, thumping home a low cross from Chasity Grant.
Natalia Arroyo’s side maintained control after the break, with Maya Hijikata striking the woodwork before Daly doubled her tally by pouncing on a rebound in the 77th minute.
The defeat leaves Liverpool boss Gareth Taylor under increasing pressure with his side two points adrift at the bottom of the WSL table.
The Merseyside club have picked up just four points from their opening 10 games.
They become just the fourth team since the introduction of a 12-team league in 2019-20 to fail to win any of their opening 10 matches of a campaign.
Villa, meanwhile, have established themselves in the middle of the pack and remain eighth, but the win moves them five points clear of Everton in ninth.
The mid-week game at Villa Park was originally scheduled for 21 September but was postponed following the death of former Liverpool manager Matt Beard.
