For Haug, it was his first strike since his summer move from Roma, and Laws later told Liverpoolfc.com he was delighted with his new team-mate.”He has worked very hard since his nose and face injury,” said the Reds goalkeeper.

“It actually took a few weeks, but you can see through training that he is working towards that goal.”I said to him last night, ‘I’ve got a good feeling, Thorpe, I think you’re going to score.’

So maybe I should say this more often!“But yeah, the girls are really excited about it. Like I said, he worked really hard and it was worth it today.

Liverpool fell behind after Celine Bizet gave Spurs a first-half lead at Brisbane Road, but hit back strongly after the break with Beard switching to a 3-5-2 formation to turn things around.”I think we were really down in the first 45 games,” Laws said. “We didn’t go out.

I think we were lucky to lose 1-0. “But once we changed the line-up in the second half, we looked good, looked strong and started to make some plays.”Overall we are happy with the score as we think both teams could have won in the end.

“Asked if the results reflected the team’s progress this season, he added: “I think it shows the depth we have. Those who left did what they had to do today.

“Looking back at last year, we lost here and if we hadn’t stepped up we would have lost again. Even in the first four or five games of this season, you can see the team pushing each other to the next level, growing together, and I think today showed a lot of not only the depth of the team, but the growth of the team. .

there is “Laws also found time to praise defender Gemma Bonner for her outstanding performance at the heart of the Reds defence.

“Bonner was great,” he said. “I don’t think there are enough benefits to summarize now.“A couple of blocks and tackles, he had a shot in the second half and they got called for a penalty, but they didn’t get close.

It was a fantastic last game and that’s what we got from Bonner. “He’s been fantastic in training and everyone can see how much effort he’s put into it. Everyone in front of me today was strong, made it a little bit easier for me, but I thought Bonner was special today… amazing.”
