"After making herself a household name this summer and being handed the No 9 shirt at Brighton, Michelle Agyemang must have felt a little pressure to build consistent performances across 90 minutes. A series of bright displays have impressed so far but she had little to show for it from the first three games in terms of scoring. Her winner against Everton this weekend, therefore, would have come as a huge relief."
"We have more shots [than against Manchester United] at least, which of course we want at home, said Slegers. We always look at how many we have on target and of course it's not enough. We had more possession and solutions today but we didn't have enough urgency in and around the box today and when the game is 1-0 the opposition always believe they can get back in it."
Michelle Agyemang scored the winner as Brighton beat Everton 1-0, ending a scoreless run and delivering an eye-catching 19-year-old performance. Agyemang, wearing the No 9 shirt, frequently dropped deep to influence play, won the most duels and contributed defensively when Brighton protected their box. Everton suffered a third straight defeat as manager Brian Srensen continues to search for the best team formula. Arsenal dropped four points across two matches after draws with Manchester United and Aston Villa. Arsenal dominated the Villa match but lacked urgency in and around the box and failed to convert possession into sufficient shots on target.
