Jenna Clark believes Liverpool FC Women’s togetherness has been clear to see in their performances and results so far this season.
The Reds made it two wins from two in the Barclays Women’s Super League by beating Aston Villa Women 2-0 at Prenton Park on Sunday evening.
It was the perfect follow-up to the battling 1-0 victory at Arsenal Women on the opening day, with Matt Beard’s side sitting level on points with current WSL leaders Leicester City, behind only on goals scored.
Clark, who was voted Carlsberg Player of the Match by supporters, told Sky Sports afterwards: “We defended from the front to the back and we got two goals to top it off, which was really good. Delighted to keep the clean sheet again.
“Throughout pre-season we were quite connected on and off the pitch, and I think that’s shown in the last two games especially.
“We are such a family unit and we work really hard for each other. Just proud of everyone.”
Liverpool are next in WSL action when Everton Women arrive at Anfield this coming Sunday for an eagerly anticipated Merseyside derby.
While excitement is high for that occasion, Clark and her teammates are first firmly focused on their Continental League Cup opener away at Leicester on Wednesday night.
Asked about the derby, Clark said: “That’s massive for us but we do have a game before that, so all eyes are on that and then we can look forward to the game at Anfield.
“I think for us it’s one game at a time. You don’t want to think too far ahead. We’ve had a good start to the season but it’s two wins and that’s all it is. We’ll just look forward to the next one.”
