Continental Cup Roundup: Sheffield United Stun Liverpool as Manchester City and Arsenal Hit Five

The first round of Continental Cup group fixtures took place on Sunday, with Sheffield United pulling off the shock of the round with a memorable victory over WSL side Liverpool. Elsewhere, there were big wins for Manchester City and Arsenal over lower league opposition.

In a thrilling game at Prenton Park, Championship outfit Sheffield United came from behind twice before scoring an injury-time winner to condemn Liverpool to yet another defeat.

This was no second string cup side on the field for Liverpool either; Sophie Bradley-Aukland, Jess Clarke and Mel Lawley have all been capped multiple times for England, and all three started on Sunday.
