Liverpool Women have hit back at criticism from the Chelsea manager, Emma Hayes, over the state of their pitch. Speaking after her side’s 1-1 draw on Sunday at Prenton Park, where Liverpool Women play their games, Hayes branded the pitch the worst in the WSL. “This pitch shouldn’t be part of our league,” Hayes said. “Our league deserves better standards and I think Liverpool – champions of Europe – should provide their women’s team with significantly more than they’re doing. “We wish Emma Hayes and her Chelsea team all the very best for the rest of the season.”
