The horror of Englishman Lea Williamson’s injury in Arsenal’s defeat against Manchester United

Meanwhile, Brighton and Hove Albion moved away from the bottom of the Premier League table with a 3-2 home win over Everton, in the first match for new Brighton coach Melissa Phillips. Phillips oversaw last Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup and despite that, said she knew “100 per cent” her side could get out of relegation trouble.

They are still in danger but this victory, their first in the Women’s Football League since 6 November, will give the Sussex club a huge boost. Just two points now separate the four bottom teams in the table, with one relegation spot at the end of the season.
