Rinsola Babajide inspired Liverpool FC Women to a 3-1 win over Durham Women FC in the Continental Cup on Wednesday night.
The forward scored twice and created the Reds’ other goal for Niamh Charles as Vicky Jepson’s side claimed their third victory in Group A.
But the result wasn’t enough for a place in the quarter-finals, with Sheffield United and Aston Villa taking the qualification spots.
Ashley Hodson had already sent an effort off target before the home team went in front with eight minutes on the clock at Prenton Park.
It was a goal all of Babajide’s making, the 21-year-old driving in from the right flank and planting a fantastic left-footed curler into the top corner.
