Brighton come from behind to beat Palace 2-1 at home
Caitlin Hayes headed the equaliser and Sophie Peskett, making her first WSL start, scored the winner, Brighton's third straight home league win since 2021.
Brighton came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the WSL. Annabel Blanchard gave the visitors the lead with a strike from 25 yards before half-time, but Arturo Ruiz's side responded: Caitlin Hayes headed the equaliser in the 59th minute, her fourth goal of the season, and Sophie Peskett made it 2-1 five minutes later.
It is the club's third successive home league win and third in eight days, something Brighton had not managed since 2021. The victory lifts them up to sixth. According to the club's official website, they played without Kiko Seike, Jelena Cankovic, Madison Haley, Charlie Rule, Lia Walti and Moeka Minami, and still deserved the win.
