Rehanne Skinner has made an early change, bringing an end to Dagny Brynjarsdottir's WSL return.

The Iceland midfielder missed the 2023-24 season as she gave birth to her second son in February.

She's replaced by Kristie Mewis.

Dangerous running down the Everton right by new signing Toni Payne.

She manages to evade her opposite full-back and dig out a cross but there's no one in the middle looking to meet it.

Brighton 1-0 Everton

Free kick to Everton after Courtney Brosnan is clattered in her box by an on-rushing Pauline Bremer.

In all fairness to the Brighton forward the ball was there to be won, she was just beaten to it by the quick reflexes of the Everton keeper.

We're back under way at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have won all four of their WSL home games against West Ham without conceding.

Will they do the same again or can Rehanne Skinner's side get on the board?

Summer signing Kiko Seike has stolen the show on her debut. That was a stunning goal.

She has been threatening down Brighton’s right wing all half and had earlier forced goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan into a good save.

Seike’s been linking up nicely with Fran Kirby and Brighton’s pressing led to her winning the ball high up for her goal.

There were people on their feet near me applauding the finish and it has set the band off again.

Everton are looking to find their feet again now having fallen behind.

Boss Brian Sorensen is right to look concerned on the touchline, before today the Toffees had only won one of the last 29 league games that they’d fallen behind in (D3 L25).

Brighton bright spark Kiko Seike is fed into the right hand side of the box and takes aim at goal.

Her shot has plenty of power but it is denied by a big hand from Courtney Brosnan that tips it over the bar.

Nice passage of play from Brighton in and around the Everton box.

Poppy Pattinson fires a cross into the back post which is cleared, before another cross from Kiko Seike is gathered by Courtney Brosnan in the middle.

Dangerous passage of play from Everton as Sara Holmgaard fires a low ball into the six yard box which Sophie Baggaley can only parry back into the area.

Everton recycle the play out to the right hand side but Brighton recover to knock the ball out for a throw.

And there's the whistle. A very positive first-half for Manchester United.

That's Leah Galton at her best. She runs inside, keeps her eye on goal as she shoulders off markers and picks out a lovely effort.

The hosts lead 2-0 before the break and it feels deserved. West Ham have produced a bit of good play, but it's mostly been one-way traffic.

Marc Skinner will be happy. Rehanne Skinner less so.

Almost a disaster for Brighton.

Skipper Vicky Losada dwells on the ball a little too long and is dispossed by Aurora Galli. The Italian takes aim at goal from distance but her effort is caught calmly by Sophie Baggaley.

Having had a rather slow start to the game there is no doubt that Brighton have taken the impetus here.

Kiko Seike has sent the fans into rapturous applause on several occasions already with her marauding runs and Pauline Bremer looks a threat up top.

New signing Dominique Janssen puts her side in a spot of bother as her pass back to the Manchester United defence falls short and is intercepted.

It ends up with Riko Ueki, whose shot is deflected out for a corner.

Excellent defending from Everton skipper Megan Finnigan.

Poppy Pattinson looked as if she was about to latch onto a through ball in the Toffees' box but the skipper was there to clear at the last.

Kiko Seike has looked very lively down the right hand side so far this afternoon.

She drives a low cross into the six yard box and Pauline Bremer is inches from tapping Brighton into the lead.

That would have been spectacular!

West Ham can't clear a corner and the ball falls to Geyse, who goes for an outrageous overhead kick.

It nearly comes off, too, as it drops on to the crossbar.

Everton win their first corner of the game with debutant Inma Gabarro stepping up to take.

The delivery is scuffed resulting in a goalmouth scramble but Marisa Olislagers is on hand to thump the ball clear for the hosts.
