Man City player ratings vs Brighton as quickfire start gives Blues WSL victory

Gareth Taylor’s Manchester City side secured their latest Women's Super League win with three goals in the first 26 minutes against Brighton and Hove Albion.

The other two goals came from Chloe Kelly and Julie Blakstad in the opening minutes of the game. Kelly netted her first of the WSL season from a perfectly placed corner kick tucked inside the front post early on. Seven minutes later Blakstad doubled City’s lead from a diving header to redirect Kelly’s ball in.

Laura Coombs’ shot fired into the back of the net to make it 3-0. Lee Geum-min scored a consolation for Brighton in the dying seconds of the match.
