Everton Women suffered their third consecutive defeat in the Women’s Super League after a 1-0 to Brighton and Hove Albion at Broadfield Stadium on Sunday.

Brian Sorensen’s side are yet to secure three points since their fantastic 4-1 Merseyside Derby triumph earlier this month. They’ve lost to Tottenham, London City and Brighton since and were also beaten by Manchester City in the opening match of the Women’s League Cup.

Michelle Agyemang scored the only goal in the game for the hosts. The 19-year-old forward, on loan from Arsenal, slotted past Emily Ramsey from close range after being found by Rosa Kafaji in the 26th minute.

The first real chance of the game fell to the Blues when Maz Pacheco’s cutback arrived at Rosa van Gool’s feet but her shot was tame and was easily saved by opposition keeper Chiamaka Nnadozie.

Brighton pulled ahead just a minute later with Agyemang scoring after excellent work from Fran Kirby. Kirby won the ball inside the Everton half with a superb tackle, overlapped Kiko Seike and clipped a lovely cross to the far post towards Kafaji.

Brighton also had chances to stretch their lead in the first half, but both Seike and Kirby failed to test Ramsey’s goal.

Sorensen’s side were unable to create a chance of note as the team from the south coast held on for all three points.

Everton Women have also signed Katie Startup on an emergency loan from Manchester City and she was on the bench for the game against Brighton. The former England youth international, who was a graduate of Chelsea's academy, provides cover for the injured Courtney Brosnan.

The Blues will now turn their attention towards Leicester City on Sunday.

They must have put all their energy into beating the RS at their place. Could be the curse of Goodison has struck them now.

Fingers crossed it's just a blip and they can start winning again.

It’s a malaise that has ran throughout our football club, for way too many years now Mike. One good result and then rest on your laurels, over and over again.

I don't think Sorensen is the man ( or woman ) for the job we have and have had good players he cant take the women any farther.
