It was the 12th win in a row for the women's Super League team.
They led 2-0 within 22 minutes after Lia Walti thumped in the opener.
Manchester City equaled the WSL winning record in April 2021.
There was a chance for the Reds to get a penalty in the second half when Foord appeared to handle the ball in the box but it was not given.
Emma Koivisto was in front of the goal when play was allowed to continue, but she hit the ball straight at the goalkeeper.
In the second half, Matt Beard's hosts saw more of the ball and created more chances, but they couldn't convert.
They were deserved winners and had lots of chances to extend their lead.
Foord hit the outside of the right post in the first half, while Stina Blackstenius was denied by Laws after the break.
The Ballon d'Or runner-up could have had a clear sight of goal but for her poor touch. She was denied by Laws.
In the second half, they were able to make changes too, bringing on Miedema, who had started on the bench in the first half.
The Japan international came on in the last minute of the game but was upset at the end.
The manager said that he asked what the conversation was about and whether she was frustrated that she couldn't start again. I can't say what other people would think. It would be necessary for you to ask her.
The boss said that they knew this would be a test.
It was a show of strength by the defenders who started the game, and also by Jen Beattie coming in, which showed the importance of having players ready to step in.
I thought that substituting tired legs in the second half would add stability to our performance.
Despite showing in patches their ability to compete at this standard, they were frustrated again as they didn't have the firepower to hurt a team of this caliber.
"Over the course of the game, we did well, but everything we touch at the moment becomes gold," said Beard.
There was a clear penalty that was not given. The game could be changed a little by that.
Things are going to change up there. If van de Sanden is not in contention for next week, then we will have to play games in November.
We have had a difficult start to the season. We've done okay in each game. We can take solace in the fact that today is a good day.
They did not look like they would drop points at Prenton Park.
They dealt with a bright start from the Reds, held firm on set pieces, and had the ability to take their chances when they arrived.
It wasn't the free-flowing and ruthless display they had put in against Lyon, but it was enough to give them three points as they continue their pursuit of the WSL title.
They have kept a clean sheet in 10 straight WSL matches, more than any other side have done.
Since shocking Chelsea on the opening weekend, the Reds have lost three successive WSL matches.
The Reds haven't scored a goal from open play this season, but there were signs in the second half that Beard's team was becoming more dangerous.
The main concern will be the inability to make half-time without allowing a goal. They have conceded in the first half in each of the four matches they have played.
The start to the WSL season is not going to be easy. Their next match is against Manchester City on October 30.
"We've had a difficult start to the season, we've played several teams who finished in the top five last year."
Next week we have Manchester City, then we have a run of games against teams that will be in and around where we are.
"We have ambitions to do as well as we can in this league, but we have to realize that we've been out of it for two years and it's going to take time to adjust and adapt."
