Kelly Smith bagged five as Arsenal Ladies recorded their biggest victory for
two years with an 11-2 win at Liverpool.

Katie狂轟5球, 幫助女槍連續兩年大勝利物浦

Liverpool’s first home game of the season saw Smith score a four-minute
hat-trick as well while Karen Carney, summer-signing Dannii Bird,
and Jayne Ludlow each grabbed a brace.                                          

08-09利物浦主場對女槍, Katie 4分鐘內就戴帽,
Karen Carney、夏天才剛加入女槍的Dannii Bird和Jayne Ludlow接連破門,
輕鬆寫意打得對方落花流水。   <--我加的

Arsenal were in control from the off. Both Carney and Niamh Fahey struck the
woodwork within the first 10 minutes before Smith made the pressure tell
in the 12th minute. The England international wasted no time in doubling her
tally with a well-executed lob from just inside the area.
Two minutes later and her hat-trick was complete.
This time on her left foot, Smith rifled home an effort that rose into the
top right-hand corner.

女槍們控制了全場的比賽節奏, Karen Carney和Niamh Fahey皆有出色表現。
而身為英格蘭女足國家隊重要的一員 Katie不曾浪費時間,
12分鐘便攻破對方大門, 接下來4分鐘都是Katie的個人秀,
比賽才進行16分鐘就完成了個人本賽季的第二次帽子戲法。

A delightful team move provided Carney with her first of the game and
Arsenal’s fourth on 26 minutes and Smith helped herself to her fourth just
seven minutes later. The visitors were already out of sight.

26分鐘時, Karen Carney也進球了!
幾分鐘後, Katie再下一城, 攻入個人的第4粒進球, 此時女槍已勝券在握。  

Cheryl Foster provided something for Liverpool to shout about, coolly slotting
home from 10 yards after some fantastic build-up from the hosts.
Ludlow netted a magnificent overhead kick outside the penalty area
on 42 minutes to restore the four-goal deficit before Foster recorded her
second on the stroke of half-time.

中場前, 利物浦球員Cheryl Foster連進兩球, 避免了球隊被剃光頭的窘境。

It was more of the same in the second half as Ludlow further extended
Arsenal’s lead. Bird replaced Grant and wasted no time in netting twice
within 12 minutes either side of Carney’s second of the  afternoon.
As Liverpool appeared to tire, Smith piled on the misery with her fifth just
three minutes from time.

下半場的情況與上半場差不多, 女槍仍控制著大局, 利物浦已顯疲態。
Ludlow、Carney、Katie和Bird接連進球, 宣告了對手的死刑。

For the record, a 14-0 win over Fulham on August 27, 2006 is the highest
scoring win for the Gunners in the last three seasons.

2006年8月27日, 女槍以14-0大勝Fulham女足, 也近三季中最大差距的比分記錄。
