Marc Skinner’s side edged the first half thanks to a goal from Katie Zelem, but second-half goals from Lauren Hemp, Ellen White, Caroline Weir and Khadija Shaw saw the visitors proceed to the next round.
The defeat means that the Reds’ only remaining chance of silverware is the Women’s Super League, where we currently sit fourth, six points off the top.

The opening exchanges were cagey, with the only opening falling to Manchester City striker Ellen White, whose long-range effort was held well by Mary Earps.
The first clear-cut chance of the match fell to Marc Skinner’s side, but Maria Thorisdottir headed over following Katie Zelem’s dangerous corner.
