Finnigan put Brian Sorensen's side ahead as she headed in a loose ball from close range.

Park made it 2-0 with a fine piece of skill to round Liverpool goalkeeper Rachael Laws before slotting the ball home on 87 minutes to silence the home faithful.

It rounded off another intriguing weekend in the WSL, the pick of Sunday's matches seeing Chelsea get the better of title rivals Manchester City.

Manchester United won 2-0 at West Ham, while Aston Villa beat Leicester by the scoreline.
