Liverpool were constantly sub-par in the final third throughout the game and failed to find the end product once they got the ball towards good areas.<\/p>\n
To their credit, Charlton managed the game well and pressed to keep Liverpool out, but the visitors, who created 2.34 expected goals in normal time, should really have scored.<\/p>\n
Mia Enderby came close to breaking the deadlock early on but her close-range effort was palmed over by Whitehouse.<\/p>\n
That was one of just two shots on target for Liverpool in normal time, the second being a tame late Martha Thomas effort.<\/p>\n
Gareth Taylor’s side also had one disallowed when the offside flag was raised after Beata Olsson sent a backheeled effort past Whitehouse following a Martha Thomas flick.<\/p>\n
While Charlton started well as former Liverpool forward Amalie Thestrup caused a few issues, they soon unsurprisingly retreated to a defensive game and managed just one touch in the visitors’ box in the second half.<\/p>\n
Thomas sent a powerful strike past Whitehouse from a corner in the first half of extra time, but it was ruled out as she handled the ball when she initially controlled it.<\/p>\n
This was a mostly drab affair as neither side produced anywhere near the levels of quality required in the final third, but it proved that Charlton – who are fighting for promotion to the top flight – can definitely compete with Women’s Super League opposition.<\/p>\n
Shaw’s late winner means Liverpool have reached the semi-finals for the second season in a row. They lost 2-1 to Chelsea last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool were constantly sub-par in the final third throughout the game and failed to find the end product…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":514575,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-514574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=514574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514574\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/514575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
