Manchester United Women took on Brighton and Hove Albion in the first match after the October international break.

First half

The home side had the first real opportunity of the game when the ball rebounded to Maisie Symonds but she could only sky her effort over the top of the bar.

Jess Park has been a revelation for United since signing from Manchester City in the summer and she responded for the visitors but her shot was easily collected by Chiamaka Nnadozie in the Seagulls’ goal.

Melvine Malard has also been in fine form this season and she was next to threaten the Brighton goal but unfortunately her finishing let her down as she fired wide.

Ella Toone then had an effort that was spilled by Nnadozie but she recovered just in time to prevent Toone from putting in the rebound.

United finally found the breakthrough just before half-time though as their patience paid off.

Toone’s ball bounced off Julia Zigiotti Olme and landed perfectly for Terland.

The Norwegian has been lethal this season and made no mistake to coolly slot in against her former side to give Marc Skinner’s side the lead just before the half...
