Everton Struggles Continue at Home as Brighton Secures Narrow Victory
Brighton & Hove Albion secured a hard-fought 1-0 win against Women's Super League strugglers Everton at Goodison Park, further exacerbating the hosts' dismal form in front of their own fans. The result marks yet another disappointing display for Everton, who have now gone without a single point in six home league games since switching to their new stadium.
The only goal of the match came courtesy of Japan forward Kiko Seike, whose through ball allowed Brighton's Jelena Cankovic to score her first WSL goal of the season. The breakthrough occurred after a defensive error from Martina Fernandez, who attempted to play out from the back and inadvertently released the ball into Everton's half.
The loss extends Everton's winless run at home to six games this season, a worrying trend that highlights the team's struggles in front of their own supporters. With their form continuing to suffer, it remains to be seen when or if they will be able to turn things around and secure a much-needed victory at Goodison Park.
As for Brighton, the win is a welcome boost to their season and marks a significant improvement from previous results. The team's performance was characterised by discipline and determination, with each player playing a crucial role in securing the narrow victory.
With the Women's Super League entering a critical phase of the season, every team will be eager to secure positive results on the pitch. For Everton, however, it is clear that they have some significant work to do if they are to overcome their current struggles and return to winning ways at Goodison Park.

ugh i feel bad 4 everton fans their strikers r just not scoring rn they cant even rely on their own home crowd 2 lift them up 
what's going wrong w/ em? everythin seems so frustratingly predictable 
but yaaas to brighton tho! d girl from japan 
is a beast!!! 
can't wait 2 c how they keep goin in ths season
& kiko seike gets that thru ball from japan & jelena cankovic scores her 1st wsl goal 
wat happened 2 everton?? Brighton's performance was so much better tho, they played like a team & secured that 1-0 win 
. their goal difference is -15 now 
... can't keep repeating the same mistakes like that martina fernandez error was a game-changer 
. on the other hand, brighton's got some serious momentum 
, 1-0 win gives them 12 points so far this season 
️. their average attendance is still kinda low tho 
... needs to get more fans through those gates for that home advantage 
they just cant seem to get a win at home its like their own fans arent supporting them anymore lol the brighton team seems much more united tho 
they played so disciplined and worked together as a team it was pretty inspiring to watch 
i dont know what everton needs to do to turn things around but maybe a change in tactics or something 
but seriously everton needs to step up their game ASAP, can't keep losing like this 
They're getting the exact same pitch conditions as home, but with a much-needed confidence boost from their last win 
. Meanwhile, Everton's still struggling to find their footing on their own turf... can't say I blame them, it must be tough playing in front of 25k screaming fans all day 
.
seike's goal was lucky as hell but cankovic's finish was silky smooth 
fernandez is like the everton version of me when i'm trying to adult lol 
i feel bad for the fans, they must be so frustrated 
so lets hope everton gets it together soon
