Vicky Losada
This is bonkers now. The game was goalless at half-time and now Manchester City are 6-0 up after 76 minutes.
Vicky Losada skips past one challenge and from well outside the box goes looking to lob Megan Walsh in Brighton's goal.
The ball may have taken a deflection on the way, but it is a great finish to put City six up.
