Overview

  • London City Lionesses beat Brighton 2-0 at CopperJax Community Stadium to move into second place in the Women's Super League.
  • Alexia Putellas scored her first goal in English football with a 29th-minute strike that opened the scoring and confirmed her central role for London City this season.
  • Lucia Corrales sealed the win with a 92nd-minute finish after Delphine Cascarino set up a fast break, turning a late counter into a second goal.
  • Brighton remain without a league victory and sit 10th with two points after creating several chances, including a header that hit the crossbar in the first half.
  • Putellas joined London City from Barcelona in July as a marquee summer signing and her early-season starts and scoring impact are reshaping the club's trajectory in the opening weeks of the WSL.
