Match report: Man Utd Women 3-0 Brighton Women – 4 October 2020

The US international didn’t take long to give a first indication of what she’s all about, as Heath cut inside on her right foot and curled an effort towards the back post. Walsh again proved equal to it, while Galton’s follow-up was parried wide for a corner.

As the game entered the final 15 minutes, Christen Press was also brought on for her United bow, as the pace of proceedings began to wain.

Mary Earps, who had a quiet afternoon, was called into action when she rushed out to clear the ball and prevent a Brighton attack, and then collecting a low cross from Aileen Whelan in the latter stages.

Soon after, Press was just inches away from making it a dream debut, however our no.24 hit the post after an excellent run from Hayley Ladd.

As the game ticked closer to its conclusion, Ross grabbed a final strike to make it 3-0. It was Heath who provided the inch-perfect cross for the Scottish striker, and she capitalised on a rare moment of indecision from Walsh, and headed past the Brighton stopper.

A few minutes later and the referee’s full-time whistle signalled an end to an excellent afternoon’s work for Stoney’s side.
