Man United climbed up to second in the WSL table with a comfortable 3-0 win over Brighton at Leigh Sports Village. Here is what the managers had to say on Sky Sports after the game.

Man United's Marc Skinner: "It's nice when it happens - we got exactly what we wanted. I wanted us to be more ruthless in the first half and there should have been a few more goals, but I'm really happy with the collective performance.

"Ella Toone is scoring goals and smiling. We spoke about that love for the game and that's good for Ella, good for United, and good for England.

"We want to see a smile and she's enjoying football. You can see by the way she's playing with freedom. She'll have her up days and her down days, and we'll be there for her."

Brighton's Dario Vidosic: "The first 20 minutes, we made it difficult for ourselves and gifted them two goals. We had a really good chance at the start of the second half, where Nikita [Parris] goes over the bar from two metres out, but they were levels above us tonight.

"We should do better with all three goals and that's something that's been a theme for us this week: shooting ourselves in the foot. We were disorganised without the ball and a little bit off in all areas. When we were good, we were competitive, but when you're off, you get punished.

"It's a tough week, with three tough opponents, but we've got to keep going. With a bit of consistency, some players returning, and some training sessions, we'll find our rhythm and get back to the old Brighton."

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler to BBC Match of the Day: "We played against a very solid team. We were not clean enough in the first half. We don't have good box positioning and obviously there is an opponent who try to break the rhythm all the time and then it's very difficult.

"We are honest with each other, critical. We have to keep working. We will analyse what went wrong, where we have to improve, and then we keep going."

On perceived timewasting from Everton: "When the referee says we won't send a player off for time wasting it says it all. I don't understand."

Brighton had begun 2025 with a spring in their step, but their unbeaten start to the new year came to an end in limp fashion against Everton.

Fabian Hurzeler's side, who had beaten Ipswich and Manchester United in their last two games, managed just one shot on target at Amex Stadium on Saturday - a blocked Joao Pedro effort in the first half.

The hosts were furious at referee Tim Robinson's decision to award a penalty against Joel Veltman, who appeared to deliberately shepherd the ball out of play with his hand while under pressure from Beto inside the area.

But it was a clumsy, unnecessary intervention from the Dutchman which ultimately cost his team dearly.

A second-half improvement was not enough to spark a revival as Brighton's winless Premier League home run stretched to five matches.

It is hard to judge David Moyes's Everton off the back of their 3-2 win over a Tottenham side who have been so leaky defensively.

This will be a much better indication of whether Toffees striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is up and running after ending his long wait for a goal against Spurs.

Similarly, it's hard to read too much into Brighton's victory at Manchester United.

Their performance was impressive, especially how dominant they were, but then everyone is dominating against United at the moment - even Southampton managed it when they went to Old Trafford.

Everton were also very good against Spurs but I think they will find things much harder here and Moyes has still got a bit of work to do to keep them up.

Scoring goals has been such a problem for them so getting three against Tottenham was massive - but I don't think they will get any this week.
