Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool women's team weren't 'treated outstandingly well'

Jurgen Klopp has congratulated Liverpool's women's team on their promotion after not being 'treated outstandingly well' in recent years.

Matt Beard's side returned to the Women's Super League with a 4-2 win at Bristol City on Sunday having dominated the second-tier all season.

The Reds won back-to-back WSL titles in 2013 and 2014 but then suffered several years of turbulence culminating in their relegation on a points-per-game basis during the Covid-affected 2019-20 season.

There was criticism of a lack of investment by the club's owners in the women's team, the fact they trained separately from the men's training ground and complaints over a poor playing surface at Tranmere's Prenton Park.
