Arsenal rushed to a 4-0 win over Liverpool in Emirates Stadium, where Jasmine Matthews scored two goals.
Liverpool had made a good start under Interim -Baas Amber Whiteley, but Arsenal made the five consecutive Super League victories on Saturday on Saturday.
The unfortunate Matthews changed in her own net on both sides of peace, while Arsenal warmed up nicely for the second stage of their Champions League Quarte final with Real Madrid, in which they find a total of 2-0.
Frida Maanum should have put Arsenal forward when she hit the woodwork up close, but the excellent Caitlin Fore made no mistake when she stopped home after Liverpool had not made any corner.
It was 2-0 less than two minutes later when Matthew's attempted clearance by Kim Little's cut in the Liverpool network skewed.
Maanum hit the woodwork again, but Mariona Caldentey brought the 3-0 for half-time with an exceptional finish.
Matthews then led in the cross of Beth Mead to add further shine to a thunderous victory in the 69th minute, when Arsenal moved in five points from leaders Chelsea, who meet Manchester City on Sunday.

Data Debrief: Liverpool brought back to Earth
Liverpool won 1-0 last season in this fixture and wanted to win back-to-back games for the first time since 2016 for the first time since 2016 in the league against Arsenal.
In the meantime, Whiteley hoped to be the second WSL boss, after Rehanne Skinner with Tottenham in 2021-22, to win their first three games in the WSL after the middle of the season.
But Liverpool hardly put a glove on their hosts, which created opportunities at only 0.09 expected goals – the Reds succeeded in only three shots and did not attempt.
Arsenal, who ended with 1.36 xg, naturally benefited from what happiness when it came to Matthews's own goals, not that the Gunners will give. They have now won 19 of their 25 WSL meetings with Liverpool (D2 L4).
