Beata Olsson's brace and Cornelia Korpocs' strike proved the difference as Liverpool comfortably beat Albion at the Amex on Saturday.

Arturo Ruiz’s side found themselves behind after just four minutes courtesy of Olsson's finish.

And things got worse for Albion shortly after the break when Kapocs capitalised on Maisie Symonds' wayward pass to tap home from close range.

The hosts huffed and puffed but would find themselves 3-0 down when Olsson added her second late on to complete the victory.

Arturo Ruiz made one change to his side following their defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last time out in the WSL, with Gabrielle George coming into the XI.

Albion hadn't won any of their last eight WSL matches with the Reds, and it was Liverpool who started on the front foot and broke the deadlock.

With four minutes played Vivien Endemann was slipped through along the right-flank and fizzed a cross into the box. Olsson broke free from her marker and slotted past Chiamaka Nnadozie to hand the visitors an early lead.

Liverpool pushed the Seagulls back with a strong press and enjoyed plenty of success down the right channel.

They continued to threaten and could have doubled their advantage through Mao Itamura. The forward collected the ball in the box after receiving a pass inside from Kapocs, and would have found the net on the turn if not for a fine save from Nnadozie.

Nnadozie produced another brilliant save on 38 minutes to deny Endemann. Clever link-up between Kapocs and Endemann released the latter, who had time and space to pick her spot but was fabulously thwarted by Nnadzoie's diving stop.

Albion had strong shouts for a penalty waved away shortly before the interval after Olaug Tvedten went over in the box. But the referee deemed the challenge a fair one and the visitors doubled their advantage in the 48th minute.

It was Albion’s own doing as Symonds misplaced her pass straight into the path of Kapocs in the box, who stroked into the empty net.

Albion’s end product in the final third ultimately lacked quality and it wasn’t until the 51st minute that they carved out a genuine opening.

A slick move from the hosts culminated in a Emilie Joramo volley that was blazed narrowly over the crossbar from just outside the six yard box.

Albion started to ramp up the pressure and could have halved the deficit if not for Liverpool clearing Symonds’ header off the line after Fran Kirby had sent the ball back into the box.

Ruiz looked to his bench and made his first change of the night, bringing on Kiko Seike for Joramo.

Lia Walti, who also came on, looked to make a swift impact when she won the ball high up the pitch. The ball was played into Olivia Garcia’s path but the forward got underneath the effort and sent the ball over the bar.

Olsson then sealed the victory for Liverpool on the counter. Breaking free from the Albion backline her initial shot was well saved by Nnadozie, but on the rebound the forward finished calmly to make sure of her second brace in as many games.

Seike had the opportunity to pull one back for the home side, but her strike from just inside the box was parried away by Khiara Keating in the closing stages.
