Liverpool FC

Rob Page made two changes for the contest, with Prince Cisse handed an U21s debut, while Joe Bradshaw was also selected.

Morrison struck the first and final goals for the Reds - his 13th and 14th efforts of the league campaign - while Cisse and Will Wright were also on target at the Kirkby Academy.

The visitors started on the front foot with Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny proving a threat on the right flank.

It was the winger who played a key role in opening the scoring for Spurs as his low ball across the box caused panic.

The ball eventually fell to Cisse, though his clearance was blocked by James Wilson, leaving the ball to ricochet into the back of the net to open the scoring.

Spurs were enjoying a spell of domination with goalkeeper Armin Pecsi called into action to push away another dangerous delivery from Russell-Denny.

However, Liverpool responded, first seeing Trey Nyoni volley wide, before Morrison levelled the contest with a fine strike.

The attacker saw the Reds turn the ball over in the Spurs half and gathered to cut into the box on his left and fire a dipping shot into the net.

The conditions on Merseyside were proving tricky with the wind playing a factor in much of the play.

Ahead of the half-time break, both Kyle Kelly and Tommy Pilling saw volleys threaten, though neither were able to add to the scoreline.

The game continued in battling fashion and it was the Reds who again went close after the interval.

Bradshaw worked an opening brilliantly on the left, beating his man to stand a cross up to the back post.

Nyoni broke free from his marker and jumped highest, though his glancing header fell inches past the post.

Moments later, however, Liverpool were in front thanks to a header from Cisse.

The Reds recycled a free-kick and Calvin Ramsay's delivery found the defender free, who planted a header onto the inside of the post before crossing the line.

The advantage lasted just four minutes, though, as Spurs hit back via a swift break forward from Russell-Denny.

The attacker sprinted through to finish well past the onrushing Pecsi after Dante Cassanova's ball opened up the home defence.

After the flurry of activity in the final third, both teams began to cancel each other out in the search for a winner.

Wright saw an opportunity inside the final 10 minutes fall just behind his reach inside the six-yard box, with the striker unable to convert a low cross from Morrison, who drove to the right byline to deliver.

He wasn't to be denied four minutes from time, though, as he scored a fine individual goal to put Liverpool back in front.

Goalkeeper Pecsi cleared the ball up field, allowing Wright to gather, turn one way and then another, before driving a low shot into the bottom corner of the net.

There was still room for Morrison to net again in added time, with Liverpool working the ball across the pitch to stretch the visitors.

Wright found the run of Morrison with a well-placed pass, allowing him to quickly gather and drive low into the bottom corner and seal the points in emphatic fashion.

It felt good to get that first win in the WSL this season and we knew it was coming.

It’s no coincidence that we’ve been able to make some reinforcements to the squad this month and we’ve now got more options at the front end of the pitch.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t use Martha Thomas for the game but I thought Aurélie Csillag, on debut, did a really good job for us. She made it really difficult for the Spurs defensive line, she caused problems with her pace and power.

I thought we played well but there are still areas of our game that we need to improve on. We had good chances and limited Tottenham to effectively one chance, which our goalkeeper Jennifer Falk did amazingly well with.

She was so quick off her line and spread herself really well to keep the score goalless. I think, from there, that is where we found the belief to go on.

We hit the post on a couple of occasions, we had good opportunities and it was case of forcing the ball over the line.

Great credit to the players because they certainly did that, the crowd were right behind us as well, as always, and you could feel something was brewing.

Denise O’Sullivan’s leadership qualities on the pitch are there for everyone to see and she will only get better. I’m so pleased to have brought her in.

We probably thought we’d had our moment when Alice [Bergstrom] hit the post in the 92nd minute but we got the goal and it’s great to get that first win. We can really build on that.

I was pleased for Mia [Enderby] to get her goals and she did exactly what we asked of her. Her contribution was great.

We have spoken to our strikers about getting across the near post and it’s something we can do more, not necessarily always to score but to make space for people and occupy the centre-backs and the goalkeeper.

Mia did really well with the second goal because she had a lot of time to think about it.

We now take confidence from this win into our away game with Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday (11.55am GMT kick-off).

United have made, I feel, significant strides this season but as always we will give it everything we have got and we know how loud you will be with us as well.

Thank you for your continued support.

YNWA,

Gareth

Gareth Taylor was speaking to Liverpoolfc.com's Steve Hunter

Two goals from substitute Mia Enderby in minutes 94 and 95 secured the Reds their first Barclays Women's Super League win of the season.

Our cameras were at St Helens Stadium to capture an alternative look at the affair – view in the free video above.

Goals in the 94th and 95th minutes from substitute Mia Enderby gave the Reds a first WSL victory of the season on Sunday in stunning fashion.

See the key moments of the contest at St Helens Stadium in the video above.

The Reds gained their first Barclays Women's Super League victory of 2025-26 in dramatic fashion at St Helens Stadium on Sunday.

With the game 0-0 and Taylor's team having hit the woodwork three times, substitute Mia Enderby scored twice at the very end.

Read the head coach's verdict on a pleasing and dramatic afternoon for his side below.

On the satisfaction of getting the first WSL win of the season...

Yeah, really satisfying. It probably looked at some stage that we weren't going to get it, certainly when Alice [Bergstrom] hit the post in the 91st of 94 minutes. But football does that, it can give you another opportunity. The girls willed the ball into the net today. I thought Ceri [Holland] was excellent throughout. We've managed to keep the ball after the free-kick hits the post and Mia does what we expect our No.9 to do, which is get across the 'keeper.

And the second one was great because it shows what we want to be about in terms of being on the front foot, rather than drop off and surrender. The girls did it today. I thought we had a lot of good chances in the second half, a lot of box entries. We haven't had that this season, I'll be honest. I think today we looked a bit more look like what we want to be. The players are going to make a big difference for us.

On a strong start to the game but not taking the chances early on...

Yeah, of course. When you have that chance from Alice and we'd hit the post, you look at it and think, 'That could be our opportunity today.' But it shows the resilience of the players, they kept going and sometimes it presents another opportunity. I felt the game was going to be fairly tight, Tottenham are a good team. Jennifer Falk has to make a fantastic save at 0-0. But we had really good chances, Kappy [Cornelia Kapocs] probably had two or three and could have had a hat-trick. Just really pleased that we were able to get that result. We know it keeps us still at the bottom but I think it brings a few more teams in and just allows us to take that next step and build in the next games.

On the influential performances of new signings Denise O'Sullivan and Aurélie Csillag...

I know Denise had a small spell at Brighton in the WSL but [she is] relatively new, she has been used to playing in the American league; and Aurélie as well in the German league. But they both made good contributions and they will both get a lot better for that game. We've not had a huge amount of time to work with them and the more you work with players, like you saw with the rest of the players today, we are starting to build something here and it takes a little bit of time. We're patient. We know Denise is really important at the moment because of her leadership and maturity. We freshened things up with Aurélie [in the second half] because she put a lot into the game and we're asking her to play differently to the way she was at Freiburg.

On what he said to the players and staff post-match...

Just really proud of the performance and really pleased that we've had some joy. Because we've had a lot to contend with on and off the pitch this season. For me, I believe it makes you stronger, I really do. You can see a team that is really together, even before today. I can see that with this team, they are really together. They are a good group to work with, they are really hungry to learn and improve and get better. And want to do well for our great supporters; we were able to give them something to cheer about today, which was really nice.

Sunday's fixture at St Helens Stadium seemed destined to end in stalemate, with the Reds having hit the woodwork three times.

But substitute Enderby delivered a quickfire double in the final minute of the game to provide her side with a first league victory of the 2025-26 season.

Liverpool were moving the ball sharply from the off and carved out several chances inside the opening 10 minutes.

Indeed, Gareth Taylor's team hit the crossbar with only two on the clock.

Aurélie Csillag chased down a flick-on and from her attack towards the box, the ball rolled out to Alice Bergstrom, whose curling effort bounced off the goalframe.

New arrival Csillag was a magnet for the action in the early phases and she glanced a header too close to the goalkeeper from a Lily Woodham cross.

The forward then teed up Ceri Holland to the left of goal for a strike that the Wales international could only slice wide.

Csillag will feel she should have scored on 17 minutes.

Cornelia Kapocs escaped into space in the centre of Tottenham territory and fed her teammate inside the box, but the finish was saved by Lize Kop.

Liverpool's ascendancy gradually gave way to a more even pattern of play, and Spurs opened up a chance five minutes before the break.

Olivia Holdt was able to line up a strike from the edge of the area that she dragged off target to the left.

There was much greater impetus about Spurs when play resumed for the second half.

And the Reds needed a tremendous save from goalkeeper Jennifer Falk to prevent them from breaking the deadlock.

A slick counter-attack saw Holdt slide Signe Gaupset into a clear one-on-one - but Falk leapt from her line to smother the final shot.

Bergstrom swirled an effort too high in response from the Reds, having been set up by good work from Csillag and Kapocs.

The hosts worked a fine opportunity on 65 minutes, Holland racing to the byline and squaring the ball into the centre, where Kapocs sent a side-footer off target.

From almost a replica routine two minutes later - Holland cutback to Kapocs - the latter's finish was this time deflected wide.

As Liverpool pushed ever more strongly, Kop blocked Kapocs from close range when Grace Fisk headed down a corner kick.

The stalemate continued, though, with the visitors' nearest riposte a headed attempt from Bethany England that drifted away from goal.

The Reds looked the team likely to score if a winner was going to materialise, and they were denied by the woodwork twice in added time.

From Holland's driving run in the left channel and lofted cross, Bergstrom arrived at the back stick but sent the ball against the post.

Holland then hit the same part of the frame from a free-kick strike - but late, decisive drama was still to come.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Enderby improvised superbly to hook Jenna Clark's cross over the goalkeeper and in from close range.

And immediately from the kick-off, she capitalised on a Tottenham slip to run clean through and supply a clinical second strike.
