Dowie strikes as Reds march on in cup
Martha Harris netted a debut goal and Natasha Dowie fired as Liverpool Ladies won 2-0 at Sunderland in the Women's FA Cup fifth round.
In their first match of the new season, the defending Super League champions were in impressive form as they reached the quarter-finals.
New signing Harris pounced to net the opener after Sunderland failed to clear a cross, and another debutant Gemma Davison created the second goal for goal machine Dowie to make it 2-0 in the second half.
Matt Beard's side start the defence of their title on Thursday when they take on Manchester City at the Halton Stadium in Widnes, at 7.45pm BST.
