Brighton and Hove Albion Women v Manchester Utd Women in the WSL
The Seagulls host the Red Devils 👿 at the Broadfield Stadium in Crawley. The 2nd bottom but improving Seagulls face a tough test against the table topping Reds. Lee starts up front with an unusual back five. The visitors start with 5 Lionesses on the pitch.
The first half starts steadily with no real chances. The visitors went ahead on 12 when Galton headed home from Zelem's corner. Did she foul Lydia Williams in the process. Definitely Maybe. There were chances to level but a single goal separated the sides at the break.
The second half started with the Seagulls still holding solid but Galton gets a second from a tight angle after running on to a ball in behind the defence on 65. Taking Bance off didn't help the energy in midfield and she was doing a better job than Lee did when she dropped back in to the position. Brighton were still in it and had a couple of good chances. The important third goal went to the visitors as Williams headed down and into the net on 86. To rub salt 🧂 into the wounds, a sloppy back-pass was intercepted and put in the net by Gracia on 87. 4-0 was a very harsh result for the performance but the Seagulls didn't take their chances and Utd did. Gits 😧.
A better performance from the Seagulls that held their own for long periods then seemed to suffer when the changes started. A really good 60 minutes and a very disappointing last 30. Enjoyed the band playing in the other stand.
POTM: Libby Bance had a good game disrupting the attacks in the midfield.
The ref didn't have great day. Seems to be theme this week. Off-side decisions seems to vary depending on which end you are attacking.
Scranometer registered an 8 for the Vegan Pie 🥧, chips 🍟 quite nice too. Hot chocolate was of the self-stirring variety so gets a 5 ☕🥄😧. Was nice afterwards but tool ate by then.
See you later at Fort Road if we get there in time.
Love Tranmerekat 🐾
