Nigeria-born forward Rinsola Babajide opened her goal account for the 2019-2020 season as Liverpool FC Women thrashed Blackburn Rovers 6-0 in the group stage of the Continental Tyres Cup on Thursday night.
After 13 minutes on the pitch, Babajide came close to doubling The Reds lead, but was denied by a timely block on the goal line.
However, ten minutes later the forward finally found the back of the net from the edge of the box to make it 2-0.
Three minutes into the second half, Babajide was handed another opportunity to net her second goal of the game after receiving a pass from Lawley, but saw her effort was kept out.
