Trophy Wins for Liverpool & Arsenal



A lot of things happened in women’s football while I was on holiday.  I seemed to miss the most exciting week of the season while I was enjoying a much needed break in the sun. 
We had to wait until the last day of the season to crown the WSL Champions and this year Liverpool Ladies took that title after an impressive season.  Arsenal had won the last 7 WSL titles but finished a close third in the league this year.

Liverpool went into the game 2 points ahead of second placed Bristol Academy but thanks to a penalty by Louise Fors and a Katrin Omarsdottir goal they took the 3 points and finished top of the league. 

The final standings are shown below:

Lincoln Ladies also played their last ever game before changing to Notts County Ladies.  It was the Lady Imps first Continental Cup Final and they played well but missed out on a victory by two late goals by Arsenal.   Ellen White and Kim Little made sure that Arsenal added another trophy to their cabinet.
