Aston Villa returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion as Rachel Daly produced a standout performance, scoring twice in a convincing 3–0 triumph that deepened Liverpool’s recent difficulties in the Women’s Super League.

Villa started the match with clear intent, pressing high and moving the ball with confidence. Their early pressure paid off when Daly, showing the sharpness that made her one of the league’s most reliable finishers, struck the opening goal with a composed finish inside the box.

Liverpool attempted to settle into the game but struggled to create any consistent threat going forward. Villa’s organisation at the back, combined with their quick transitions in attack, kept the visitors pinned in their own half for long spells of the match.

Daly doubled her tally shortly after the restart, reacting first to a loose ball and guiding it into the net to put Villa firmly in control. The goal further lifted the home side, who continued to dictate the tempo and limit Liverpool to hopeful long-range efforts.

The hosts sealed the victory with a third goal late on, capitalising on a defensive lapse that allowed them to round off a dominant display. For Liverpool, the result extends their current run without a win and raises further questions about their form heading into the next round of fixtures.

Villa, meanwhile, will take confidence from the performance — particularly Daly’s return to scoring form — as they look to build momentum in the second half of the campaign.
