Brighton overturned a 1‑0 deficit to beat Manchester City 3‑2 at the Amex Stadium, clinching a win in the Women’s Super League. After Kerolin’s early strike, American forward Madison Haley equalised in first‑half stoppage time, then Kiko Seike put the hosts ahead after the break. Haley added a second to seal the three points. It was Brighton’s first league win over City in five years.

City, chasing their first title since 2016, now sit three defeats deep and still need five points from their final two fixtures, with Arsenal holding three games in hand. Manager Andree Jeglertz lamented a lax defence and missed chances, while captain Alex Greenwood admitted the side let Brighton back into the match just before halftime in the title race.

Haley, named player of the match, praised the squad’s perseverance, saying the late goal reflected hard work paying off. Brighton’s victory propels them closer to a top‑three finish, while City must regroup ahead of next week’s clash with Liverpool and two pending cup finals. The result reshapes the title race as the season enters its final stretch.
