Man Utd Women Draw Brighton Late

Sky Sports Champions League •

Lea Schuller's first Women's Super League goal for Manchester United snatched a late point as Marc Skinner's side drew 1-1 with Brighton at Leigh Sports Village. United produced a lacklustre display in their final home game of the season, with Brighton's Jelena Cankovic scoring her side's first WSL goal at Man Utd in the 39th minute. The Seagulls nearly secured another historic win but had to settle for a point against a disappointing home performance.

The result further dents United's slim hopes of Champions League qualification. Marc Skinner's side have only one win in their last five matches and remain a point behind third-placed Arsenal, who have three games in hand, and three points behind second-placed Chelsea, who have two games remaining. Their final league game is against Chelsea next week in what could be a must-win encounter.

For Brighton, the draw comes after recent victories over WSL leaders Man City and Champions League holders Arsenal. Next up for them is a WSL game against Arsenal before they turn their attention to an FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool on May 10. Their recent form shows they're capable of challenging any team in the competition as they continue their impressive season.
