The biggest signing of the summer collected a rebounded save after Chiamaka Nnadozie initially stopped Kadidiatou Diani's strike. She then swerved a half-volley around her defender that beat the still-recovering goalkeeper. It was the first real chance of a first half that lacked many, although Brighton almost equalised instantly. Emily Murphy's header curled onto the crossbar though and Keiko Seike - who was impressive defensively - could not sort her feet out to slot home the loose ball. - As it happened | Teams | Stats - WSL table | Watch FREE WSL highlights - Got Sky?
