WSL LIVE: Arsenal beat Spurs in north London derby, Brighton edge West Ham

West Ham looked down and out after going two goals behind against Brighton.

Then Hammers captain Katrina Gorry came through with two goals in five minutes to give Rehanne Skinner’s side hope of a WSL point.

Two long-range strikes, Gorry’s first goal for the club, completely turned the game around and Brighton looked frustrated after dominating for long periods.

However, an injury to Gorry proved critical. Minutes after scoring her second goal, the Australian midfielder was withdrawn after injuring her shoulder while attempting a sliding tackle on Kiko Seike.

Fran Kirby struck late on to seal the win for Brighton, but it could have been a different story if Gorry had stayed on.

Gorry was also influential in West Ham’s first WSL win of the season last week and it is to be hoped that her injury is not as bad as it first appeared.
