Beata Olsson’s Hat-Trick Propels Liverpool to League Cup Quarterfinals

Swedish forward Beata Olsson starred for Liverpool with a hat-trick in their 4-1 League Cup win over Sheffield United on November 22, 2025, securing the team’s place in the quarterfinals. At just 24 years old, Olsson quickly set the tone by scoring within two minutes of kickoff. She netted two additional goals before the hour mark, one assisted by Swedish teammate Cornelia Kapocs, who also plays for Liverpool.

Liverpool’s victory marked their third consecutive win in the WSL Cup group stage, enabling them to top their group despite their struggles in the league, where they have garnered only two points from eight matches. The team’s fourth goal was scored by Mia Enderby, a 2023 transfer from Sheffield United.

Olsson’s goal-scoring streak has been impressive; after a slow start to the season, she has now scored in four consecutive matches and moved up to second place on the cup’s top scorer list. Looking ahead, Liverpool is set to face Arsenal in their next league match, with the League Cup quarterfinals scheduled for December 20 and 21.

Olsson’s performance highlights her rising form and importance to Liverpool’s cup campaign amid a challenging league season.
