The 18-year-old played the opening 45 minutes against Sheffield United in Kirkby on Wednesday afternoon.

It marked Shaw's return to the pitch nearly a year on from sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury while representing England U19s.

The Scouse midfielder rose through the Reds' academy system to sign her first professional contract last August.

To date, she has appeared nine times for Liverpool's senior team and scored one goal.
