Brighton & Hove Albion Women play Aston Villa Women in the WSL at the Peoples Pension Stadium
The Seagulls face the Villans just 7 days after the last meeting between the 2 teams. That ended in a 1-1 draw. This meeting was delayed from august due to the death of the Queen when it was scheduled to be at the AMEX. It would have been warm and sunny 😎 then. It's not now. It's cold and damp at the Broadfield Stadium in Crawley.
Afew of new faces on both sides. A familiar face in the Villans is Jordan Nobbs wearing no 88. A new face to Brighton is Lydia Williams in goal and surprise of the day was Vicky Williams on the bench.
It couldn't have started better for the seagulls. A quick attack led to a corner and zigaotti headed home on 3 minutes ⚽. They kept attacking and came close to a second. It didn't last long and the Villans became the villains as they scored 2 in quick succession, then a third and 4th. RD8 causing the defence all sort of problems but her goal, the 4th, was clearly offside but linesperson was not bothered that he had clearly made a mistake and ref declined to overrule him. It soon became academic when Jordan Nobbs scored her 2nd and the Villans 5th just before the break.
The second half was much better from the Seagulls. It got even better when Lee was fouled right on the edge of the box and Carter buried the resulting penalty on 49 ⚽. Jordon Nobbs got her hattrick with a long range blast into the top corner on 69. It finished 6-2. 😥
It was nice to see Jordan Nobbs flourishing having left Arsenal but would have been even nicer if Brighton weren't on the wrong end of it. Kullberg moving from left back out to the right wing worked well and showed her pace. Difficult result for Brighton.
POTM: Julia Zigiotti for first goal and her work rate when playing deeper in midfield.
Scranometer registered a yummy 8 for the Bombay Potato pie. Hot chocolate was a sad 4 due to most of it turning to concrete in the bottom of the cup.
It's international break now so we are off to MK for the arnold Clark cup.🏆.See you there.
