Full-Time: West Ham were dominate in the first half and Brighton turned it around in the second half. The Hammers will be disappointed as they didn’t take their chances in the first half. Brighton had an excellent second half and really deserved the win with West Ham battling until the end and Brighton’s defence soaked up all the pressure. Kaagman and Whelan had great games. My player of the match was Rihanna Jarrett after a wonderful performance rustling the Hammers’ defence and her goal was her first FAWSL goal in Brighton colours.
