Women’s Super League: Birmingham City 0-5 Brighton & Hove Albion

Victory moved Hope Powell’s side top of the table, but Manchester City could go above the Seagulls at the summit if they can win big against Tottenham in Sunday’s late kick-off.

It was a fine display and a second clean sheet for a Brighton side that goes into the international break as an unlikely frontrunner.

Williams’ well-taken volley and Ramsey’s inability to deal with Emily Simkins’ corner set the tone for the game early on.

Sarah Ewens forced Megan Walsh into a save at the other end soon after, but that was as close as Birmingham came to troubling the visitors, who completed their win in stunning fashion thanks to Green’s lofted effort after the break.
