Liverpool's club-record signing Olivia Smith turned in an impressive display against Manchester City in the Women's Super League
When Olivia Smith's long-range strike rippled the back of the Anfield net on Sunday afternoon, there was one spectator, in particular, who could not contain his excitement. Smith's father, Sean, is a lifelong Liverpool fan and had travelled over especially from his native Canada to watch his daughter take on Manchester City. His euphoria was palpable as he watched the action from the stadium's Main Stand, decked out in a Liverpool shirt with 'Smith 11' emblazoned on the back.
The young forward did manage to get the better of the City goalkeeper on the stroke of half-time, though, when she bulldozed her way through the Blues' back line and let fly from 20 yards. But her goal came at a cost, with Smith taking a hefty knock from defender Laia Aleixandri as she took aim.
