Such a good finish from Umotong!

Come on Brighton dig in.

 

[Beach Seagull]

Who cares.

 

[Taybha]

We hit the bar from 30 yards , Arse then break and score 1-1

 

[Icy Gull]

Are we defending in depth? There is the much vaunted “all our teams at every level play the same way” to consider

 

[chimneys]

Who cares.

The fact you posted suggests you do, cock.

 

[zeetha]

Arsenals pressure beginning to tell despite dogged defending by Brighton and some good stops by Hourihan and they now lead 2-1. Come on Albion!

 

[Taybha]

This could get Lionel 3-1 booooooo

 

[zeetha]

Still 3-1 with 30 minutes to go. Brighton haven't showed too much going forward this half and are starting to look a little tired at times. One substitution was made at halftime as Ellie Brazil came on for Legg.

Umotong getting some very positive comments on the Guardian's liveblog coverage.

 

[zeetha]

The final whistle blows and Arsenal run out 4-1 winners. Brighton certainly tried their best and there are some good signs that we are making progress and can compete in the league. Hopefully Umotongs goal will be the first of many at this level!

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Lots of positives in that performance, and I was very impressed with Ellie Brazil.

Shes impressed me every time I've seen her play. She may look slight, but she is not easy to tackle and is prepared to do defensive work too and is always looking to get down the wing and get the ball into the box.

Official match report now out : https://www.brightonandhovealbion.c...-brighton-and-hove-albion-women-on-25-nov-18/

Brightons next match is Sunday 2nd December at Crawley against West Ham. If we play like we did today we should get another win.

UTA!

Le Tissier on the bench for Brighton!
