A ‘very intelligent’ summer signing has scored their first Liverpool goal during their full debut - and it was a spectacular effort.

Swedish forward Cornelia Kapocs was brought into Matt Beard’s starting line-up as Liverpool travelled to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Women’s Super League, and duly scored a ‘genius’ opening goal of the encounter.

Seizing upon an errant pass from the Spurs’ keeper, Kapocs took a few touches before lifting the ball into the back of the net from a considerable way out.

The stunning opener from Kapocs was just the start of a topsy-turvy afternoon for Liverpool, who twice conceded equalisers to Tottenham before a penalty at the death saw the Reds run out 3-2 winners, their first victory of the season.

Kapocs signed for Liverpool this summer after an impressive season in her native Sweden, helping her former side Linkoping qualify for Champions League football.

The 24-year-old Kapocs was the Reds’ second of three summer signings, and has introduced herself in the best way possible with this goal.

Speaking upon the completion of her signing to Liverpool's official website, Kapocs said “I’m very happy and very proud to be here, […] I like the way the team plays and I also feel that I can grow and develop here as a player and as a person, so this is the right place to take the next step in my career.”

Likewise, manager Beard was similarly effusive in his praise, saying: “I’m really excited to bring Cornelia in. She is very different to what we’ve got up front – she can play wide and can play down the middle.”

“Her goalscoring record is fantastic, she got 18 goals last season, her movement is great and she’s a very intelligent player. So I think the fans can be excited at what she can bring to the table and we are excited to have her here.”

Liverpool currently sit in 5th place in the WSL table after three games played.
