England youth international of Nigerian parentage, Rinsola Babajide scored four of Liverpool's eight goals as they hammered Blackburn Rovers 8-1 in the fourth round of the Women's FA Cup on Sunday, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

The Reds number 20 took only ten minutes to open the scoring, slotting past goalkeeper Perry after a rebound fell kindly to her, and came close to scoring her second of the game on 20 minutes but was denied by the Blackburn goalie.

Twelve minutes before halftime, Babajide got her brace as she volleyed home to make it 3-1.

Just past the hour mark, the Anglo-Nigerian bagged her treble with a low strike into the near corner and her fourth goal came through a brilliant shot from the edge of the box at minute 84.

Babajide forced an own goal when her cross was turned into the net by Ellie Stewart in the second minute of stoppage time.

Liverpool's other scorers were Niamh Charles, Niamh Fahey and Kirsty Linnett

The 21-year-old Babajide joined Liverpool in January 2018 after stops at Crystal Palace, Millwall Lionesses and Watford.
