Liverpool Women Rally for 2-2 Draw After Contested Bonner Red Card

The disputed red card underscored the WSL’s lack of VAR.

Overview

  • Gemma Bonner was sent off for DOGSO in the 19th minute despite another defender covering, in her first match since an October concussion, with the manager wary of appealing.
  • Down to ten players for more than 80 minutes, Liverpool twice equalized to finish 2-2 and remain two points behind West Ham without a league win.
  • Beata Olsson assisted the first goal and scored the second, taking her WSL tally to five goals and one assist in seven starts.
  • Mia Enderby netted her first Women’s Super League goal to start Liverpool’s fightback.
  • Liverpool next host Chelsea in a Women’s League Cup knockout tie before the winter break, with January reinforcements expected.
