Super Falcons center back on target for Leicester City in comprehensive win over Liverpool

Leicester City were totally dominant in their Women's Super League clash against Liverpool as they beat the visitors 4-0 at the King Power Stadium, with Super Falcons central defender Ashleigh Plumptre scoring a rare goal for the home team

Leicester City were in the ascendancy at halftime as they led 2-0 thanks to goals from Josie Green and Carrie Jones.

Three minutes into the second halt Plumptre rose highest and powered home a header past goalkeeper Laws to increase Leicester City's lead.

Plumptre's goal, her first of the season in League and Cup, ended the game as a contest, before Goodwin with a header put the icing on the cake in the sixth minute of stoppage time. 

Leicester City were in a sticky position at the end of March but they have taken great strides this month with back-to-back wins in the Women's Super League for only the first time this season. 

The win meant the Foxes have climbed two places to tenth in the twelve-team table in the Women's Super League ahead of their trip to UEFA Women's Champions League semifinalist Arsenal on May 5.

Plumptre has locked up a 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup roster spot, assuming she does not suffer a serious injury before the end of the 2022-2023 season.
