How Beata Olsson is single-handedly saving Liverpool’s WSL season | OneFootball

Liverpool star Beata Olsson could single-handedly be the key to saving the Reds’ season this year despite a disastrous start to the campaign.

The Swedish striker has scored six goals in four appearances this season after another impressive cup performance.

Who is Beata Olsson?

Beata Olsson only joined Liverpool in September, but already she is making a good impression for her new club.

The former Kristianstads DFF striker endured a slow start to life in the WSL.

After not scoring in her first five league games, the 24-year-old kicked into life during a busy November for Liverpool.

Olsson scored her first goal at her new club in 2-1 defeat to Tottenham at the beginning of the month.

Liverpool earned back to back 1-1 draws following the Spurs loss and Olsson had the equaliser in both games.

With three goals in three games during a short November for the WSL, Olsson has been nominated for player of the month for the first time in her career.

As a result of her good form of late, Olsson has been called up to the Sweden squad as a late injury replacement.

It wasn’t just in the league that Liverpool’s new forward has thrived in though.

The summer signing starred for her team in a crucial League Cup clash on Saturday with her goals sending Gareth Taylor’s team through to the quarter finals.

It was another impressive performance from Olsson turning heads in the Subway League Cup on Saturday.

The Swede netted a hattrick against Sheffield United to send her team into the knockouts of the cup.

Speaking after the game, Olsson credited her own confidence for getting the forward back amongst the goals lately.

”[Confidence] comes in ebbs and flows. It was kind of expected, I think, when I got here that I had to get into things. But I also was very confident that this period would come.” Olsson said.

“So, I’m very happy that it came now and I think it’s been in a good period of time, in some good matches.”

With six goals in her last four games, there aren’t many players in England in better form than Olsson right now.

The Swedish forward will play two Nations League games during the international break, with her nation taking on France for third place in the competition.
