Arsenal manager Joe Montemurro has called his side's Women's Super League victory of Liverpool 'a big win' in the title race.

The Gunners beat Liverpool 3-2 last night as the defending WSL champions came from 1-0 down to take all three points.

And Montemurro spoke after the match about how impressed he was with his team's mental strength.

He said: "It was a big win. All of the big teams find a way and that goes for the other two teams challenging at the top. Chelsea played against Liverpool and dropped points.

"You have to find a way sometimes and that shows the character and the real belief this team has, even with the situation we’re in with players out.

"We’ve been stretched for a while, it’s disappointing that the injuries have been long-term scenarios.

"One of the big changes in today’s game was when Jen Beattie came on and I think the ball speed just stepped up and we were able to find passes a lot better.

"I think Jen has been a big miss over the last few weeks."

Arsenal are still third in the table behind Chelsea and Manchester City, while the defeat for means Liverpool they remain stuck in a relegation battle with Bristol City.
