Women's Super League
Liverpool 0 – 1 West Ham United FT
West Ham moved further away from relegation danger with a crucial win over Liverpool in the Women's Super League.
The result means West Ham have moved one point behind Liverpool and seven points clear of bottom club Leicester, who have a game in hand.
The Hammers took the lead after six minutes when Viviane Asseyi's corner was poked into her own net by the unfortunate Cornelia Kapocs.
Asseyi had a shot blocked and another one saved from Liverpool goalkeeper Jennifer Falk as West Ham made a bright start.
Reds captain Grace Fisk headed towards goal from a corner but Estelle Cascarino produced a vital headed clearance off the line.
Cascarino was in the right place once more to clear Alice Bergstrom's header off the line as Rita Guarino's side held firm.
Anna Josendal's curling strike just whistled past the post with Liverpool unable to find an equaliser.
