Alejandra Bernabe then saw a shot blocked from inside the box, though the visitors began to grow into the game with pressure of their own.
Liverpool were defending well and holding Villa to shots from distance in the main.
However, four minutes ahead of the interval Taylor produced a wonderful half-volley to reduce the deficit.
The striker gathered a cross at her feet and fired past goalkeeper Jennifer Falk high into the net in impressive fashion.
Following the interval, the game continued in the competitive fashion it ended in the opening half.
Both sides were battling for possession in midfield among a number of changes from either bench.
Falk was again forced to keep out a low drive from Georgia Mullet, while Holland went close herself from a Csillag cross.
Liverpool’s goalkeeper again was called into action to halt a low curling shot from Kirsty Hanson after the Villa forward produced a driving run to the edge of the box.
It was Gareth Taylor’s side, though, who found breathing room through skipper Fisk inside the final 10 minutes.
A corner ball bounced around the box and fell to the Liverpool captain, who composed herself to drill a low shot through bodies and into the back of the net.
There was still time for the Reds to add a fourth in the seventh minute of added time too, with Csillag gathering to drive through on goal and lift a shot high into the net to put an exclamation point on victory.
