ReactionCeri Holland: It's a massive three points - we’ve been building
The Reds made it back-to-back home wins in the Barclays Women’s Super League, securing an impressive 4-1 scoreline over the visitors.
Mia Enderby, Martha Thomas, captain Grace Fisk and substitute Aurélie Csillag all netted.
Holland – who voted the Carlsberg Player of the Match by supporters following the contest – was left pleased by the fight shown in the game.
“It's a massive three points,” Holland told Sky Sports post-match.
“I think we've been building really well. We were a little bit disappointed with our performance last week [against Manchester United]. We didn't feel like it was us.
“It was really nice to be back at home and in front of our fans and to get all the goals today was a good feeling.
“It's really important. It's an area where we're aware we need to work on. I think it's the hardest part of football. I say that as a forward player! It was really nice to have different goalscorers, it was really pleasing.
“It was a really good performance. I enjoyed the first half in particular. The second half became a bit of a battle. Villa are a good physical team so I think we played really well in that first half an hour period and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.”
Asked whether the players are monitoring the WSL standings, with Liverpool now off the bottom, Holland said: “I think we're aware of where we are. I don't think the table reflects who we are and how we've performed this season.
“We don't really look at that too much and we focus on the next game. We've got a really good feeling around the place right now. We continue to build and continue to improve because there's still so much to improve on.”
