Missy Bo Kearns got here off the bench to attain her first WSL goal of the seasonLiverpool supervisor Matt Beard stated his facet are “enjoying the moment” after they maintained their bid to interrupt into the Women’s Super League high 4 with victory over West Ham.Leanne Kiernan prodded the ball into an empty internet to place Liverpool forward late within the first half at Prenton Park.The dwelling facet doubled their lead 5 minutes after the break when Missy Bo Kearns headed in from Ceri Holland’s pinpoint cross.An excellent volley from Sophie Roman Haug then sealed the win earlier than Riko Ueki’s late comfort for West Ham.Beard informed BBC Radio Merseyside that his facet’s performances up to now this season has been a “huge achievement”.Liverpool keep fifth, stage on factors with Manchester United in fourth, whereas West Ham stay six factors away from the relegation place in eleventh after their tenth lack of the season.Beard stated: “I think what we’ve done already is a huge achievement, we’re just enjoying the moment. “Arsenal getting overwhelmed the opposite night time means we’re three factors nearer to them. “We’re aiming to finish as high up the league as we can. It would be great if we finished fourth but it would be even better if we finished third. “We’ll simply attempt to get as many factors as we are able to.”A dreary first half eventually came to life with Kiernan and Niamh Fahey both going close shortly before Liverpool’s opener.West Ham were unhappy that the goal was allowed to stand as they believed goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold was fouled as she collided with Holland and team-mate Amber Tysiak attempting to cut out Jasmine Matthews’ cross.The ball evaded all three of them, though, and Republic of Ireland striker Kiernan was able to mark St Patrick’s Day with a simple finish for her first WSL goal of the season.West Ham had the chance to level before the break but Ueki’s shot was saved by Rachael Laws and Viviane Asseyi skewed the rebound wide.Kearns added to Liverpool’s lead soon after the restart following good work from Holland on the left before Haug stretched to finish expertly after another Holland cross was flicked on by Fahey.Asseyi missed another glorious opportunity to pull one back between the goals as her shot looped over after a good cut-back from substitute Jess Ziu.Rehanne Skinner’s side did eventually get on the scoresheet when Ueki capitalised on a poor pass out from Laws to put the ball into an unguarded net.Reds bounce back after FA Cup disappointmentFollowing the frustration of a home defeat by Leicester in the FA Cup quarter-finals last weekend, this was an encouraging response from Liverpool.Beard said bouncing back was “actually essential”.They remained patient throughout the non-event that was the first 35 minutes of the match and, after some good fortune with the bobble that took the ball through to Kiernan to open the scoring, they were comfortably the better side in the second half.”I believed it was a great workforce efficiency,,” added the Liverpool manager. “I’m actually happy. The targets have been well-taken as properly so I feel there’s a great deal of positives we are able to take from right now.”What few probabilities West Ham had after the break got here from moments of sloppiness in possession from Liverpool.They have been uncommon, although, with Matt Beard’s facet passing the ball crisply and displaying much more intent and creativity than within the first interval.With their final probability of silverware this season gone and Champions League qualification by way of a top-three end extremely unlikely, Liverpool’s focus can be on attempting to complete above United to interrupt up the established ‘large 4’.With six video games to go of a vastly optimistic season, they’ve given themselves each probability.Line-upsLiverpool WomenFormation 5-3-21Laws2Koivisto17Clark5Fahey4Fisk6Matthews14Höbinger15Lundgaard18Holland9Kiernan10Haug1Laws2Koivisto17ClarkBooked at 85mins5Fahey4Fisk6Matthews14HöbingerSubstituted forDanielsat 65’minutesBooked at 90mins15LundgaardSubstituted forKearnsat 39’minutes18Holland9KiernanSubstituted forvan de Sandenat 61’minutes10HaugSubstitutes7Kearns11Lawley13Enderby16Micah19van de Sanden20Daniels32ParryWest Ham WomenFormation 3-4-2-11Arnold23Cissoko5Tysiak14Zadorsky3Shimizu19Hayashi22Gorry2Smith9Ueki20Asseyi8Snerle1Arnold23CissokoSubstituted forCookeat 58’minutes5Tysiak14Zadorsky3Shimizu19HayashiSubstituted forBergman-Lundinat 74’minutes22GorrySubstituted forAdemiluyiat 75’minutes2Smith9UekiSubstituted forHarriesat 90+2’minutes20Asseyi8SnerleSubstituted forZiuat 58’minutesSubstitutes7Bergman-Lundin12Harries16Ziu18Denton21Cooke25Walsh30O’Hanlon35AdemiluyiStay TextMatch ends, Liverpool Women 3, West Ham United Women 1.Second Half ends, Liverpool Women 3, West Ham United Women 1.Missy Kearns (Liverpool Women) wins a free kick within the attacking half.Foul by Shannon Cooke (West Ham United Women).Yana Daniels (Liverpool Women) is proven the yellow card.Substitution, West Ham United Women.
