    FT: Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

    Brighton had just one shot on target but will be looking at that big chance for Madison Haley in the second half as costly miss.

    Lea Schuller's goal was United only shot on target in the second half and it was a far from vintage display. But that took something from the game and, mathematically at least, Champions League qualification is still possible... for now.

    FT: Man Utd 1-1 Brighton

    Manchester United avoid defeat but more dropped points all-but ends their almost fading hopes of Champions League qualification.

    For Brighton, it's frustration at not being able to see it through and claim another 'top four' scalp but another encouraging performance, especially in the first half.

    It ends all square as Lea Schuller rescues a point for Manchester United with her first WSL goal for the club, deep into stoppage time.

    Brighton will feel hard done by having led for so long through Jelena Cankovic's first-half effort.

    We know Man United are capable of late goals. It's a ball from Melvine Malard who gets the cross in but then found Jayde Riviere. It's a great finish from Lea Schuller.

    GOAL - Man Utd 1-1 Brightonpublished at 90+4 mins

    Lea Schuller

    Almost from nowhere!

    The ball is played down the right for Melvine Malard, she cuts in back and there is Lea Schuller to thump the ball home first time.

    The substitute brings United level. Is there time for a winner?

    There is a quiet around Progress with Unity Stadium as Brighton win another throw-in and the clock ticks down ever further.

    Hope is in short supply among the United fans right now, it seems.

    You can hear the crowd urging United on. They're in the game still it's just the decisions. Brighton have been just as good defensively, they've dealt with most of what has been thrown at them by United.

    Brighton have a throw-in inside the Manchester United half with less than a minute of the 90 remaining.

    Time is running out for United.

    The counter-attack came to nothing but Brighton are closing in on a fourth straight win in all competitions.

    All eyes will be on the fourth official to see how much added time there will be.

    Man Utd 0-1 Brighton

    A foul on Jayde Riviere gives Manchester United a chance to pump the ball into box from just inside the Brighton half.

    Maya le Tissier does just that but Chiamaka Nnadozie comes out to punch and Brighton break.

    Into the last five minutes of the 90 and the game is now being playing exclusively in the Brighton half.

    But the offside flag goes up and Brighton can wile away a few more seconds.

    Listen to that round of applause. Just shows just how valued Leah Galton is at Man United. Fantastic player, when she's on her game she's unbelievable. Incredible pace, and capable of scoring fantastic goals.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 82 mins

    Double changes for both sides.

    Ella Toone and Jess Park head off, on comes Lea Schuller... and, to the loudest cheer of the day, Leah Galton.

    Is it all set up for her in her final home game as a Manchester United player?

    Meanwhile, Brighton send on Carla Camacho and Nadine Noordam for Fran Kirby and Kiko Seike.

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 80 mins

    Man Utd 0-1 Brighton

    Madison Haley is shown a yellow card for a very obvious pull on Simi Awujo.

    There is a suggestion it was a hair pull but no, just a pull back and a booking for the Brighton striker.

    I think at the moment in this game the decision making in the final third, Man United get themselves in good areas but it's that final ball, or decision on the ball. It's went into the hands of Brighton at times.

    With a lack of goals, you can't forget Elisabeth Terland has been injured too.

    Nicely done by Fran Kirby. Collecting the ball on the halfway line, wide on the right and just driving down the line to win a throw-in in United territory.

    Man Utd 0-1 Brighton

    Into the final 15 minutes of the 90 and Manchester United are still struggling to put Brighton under any sustained pressure.

    Brighton have helped them with some slack passes, only for United to return the favour moments later.

    Good chance for Ellen Wangerheim after Ella Toone's first-time ball around the corner.

    One-on-one with the goalkeeper and Chiamaka Nnadozie makes a good save... and the offside flag is up in any case.
