Ini Umotong scored as Brighton & Hove Albion beat London Bees 3-1 to record their first home win of the year in the FA Women Super League 2.

 It was Umotong sixth goal of the campaign, as victory at the Culver Road took Brighton & Hove to the third position of the FA WSL 2 standing.

The visitors, London Bees took an early lead through Paula Howell who curled home a powerful effort from the right-hand corner, which goalkeeper Marie Hourihan could not stop.

Moments afterward, Danni Buet equalised for the hosts from a resultant free kick won by Umotong after the Nigerian was fouled on the edge of London Bees defence.

The Nigeria international later got her name on the scorer-sheet, with a superb strike which bounced in off the goal post having been teed up by Beut.

The game was wrapped up in the first half by Brighton & Hove when Aileen Whelan fired the ball into the net after the opposing defenders failed to clear away a goal-bound effort.


In Cyprus, Super Falcons left-back defender Ngozi Ebere provided two assists as Barcelona FA Women stunned defending champions Apollon Limassol 4-0.

After a barren first half, Rebecca Elloch set the ball rolling for Barcelona on the 54th minute, nodding home from a Ebere's cross from the left hand side.

On 87th minute Krystyna Freda struck to double their advantage and moments later Ebere set up Marinella Panayioutu for the third goal.

Elloch put the icing on the cake in the additional minutes of the second half, converting from the penalty spot for Alexis Christodoulou's team.

Barcelona FA Women now leads the 10-team First Division Women league table with 31 points from eleven round of matches.
