Everton Ladies 3 vs Brighton Women 3: Super sub Ellie Brazil inspires Seagulls fightback in Women’s Super League
The Seagulls came from two goals behind to get their first Women's Super League point of the season at the Halton Stadium
SUPER SUB Ellie Brazil inspired a brilliant Brighton fightback with two second half goals as Everton Ladies drew 3-3 with the Women's Super League newcomers.
Neither team had scored in the WSL this term but the game was littered with brilliant goals in a dramatic day at Halton Stadium.
Brighton came out the blocks firing and took the lead in the third minute courtesy of their captain Danielle Buet, who fired home from outside the box with a wonderful strike for her side's first goal of the campaign.
The visitors continued to dominate the possession but could not make it count as the home side stood strong.
Everton then began to string a few good moves together and found an equaliser through new signing Inessa Kaagman - who smashed into the corner for her first Everton goal and her club's first this season.
After cranking up the pressure, the home side took the lead thanks to a brilliant header from skipper Gabby George from a Kaagman corner seconds before half-time.
Everton found a third around halfway through the second half and again it was Kaagman who was instrumental in the goal - crossing a beautiful delivery to Chloe Kelly who slotted home.
It seemed as though there was no coming back for the Seagulls but the game was by no means finished as Brazil headed home in the 75th minute to give the visitor's hope.
Just three minutes later, it was Brazil again who jumped highest with a sensational header to level the game up with 13 minutes to play.
Both sides then pushed for a winner in the closing moments but neither side could find it and a dramatic afternoon at Walton Stadium drew to a close.
Everton remain in 10th in the league while Brighton sit one below them in 11th -both sides are still searching for their first win of the campaign.
