International Women’s Day is a global event that celebrates women's achievements – from the political to the social – while calling for gender equality.
At half-time of the Reds' clash with the Magpies, Liverpool Ladies goalkeeper Becky Flaherty faced penalties from four participants from the LFC Foundation’s weekly coaching events, which have seen over 1,000 girls engage with the game.
