A study from the University of Sussex found that women in Brighton are underrepresented and over-sexualised.
The “women football league” is a sport that has been around for a long time. It’s often called the world’s first women’s sport. The game is played on grass and can be very physical, which means it’s not recommended for those who are pregnant or have back problems.
Manchester City won emphatically for the third time in a row in the Women’s Super League against Brighton thanks to six second-half goals.
Victoria Williams’ own goal in the 48th minute set the tone, and Lauren Hemp doubled the advantage with a wonderful chip.
Georgia Stanway made it 3-0 before Laura Coombs scored her fourth goal in seven minutes after a defensive blunder.
City moved up to sixth position in the rankings after goals from Hayley Raso and Vicky Losada increased the margin.
“We’re seeking the very top, as usual,” City manager Gareth Taylor told Sport. That’s the goal when you work at a club like City.
“It’s no secret that we struggled early in the season with the number of guys we were missing.
“Now that we’re moving forward, we’re not getting ahead of ourselves. These kinds of performances need to be accompanied by another.”
The addition of Lucy Bronze in the starting line-up, the England defender playing for the first time this season after knee surgery, boosted City’s chances.
Steph Houghton, England’s captain, made her first appearance since September as a substitute.
Hemp stars in a new deal to commemorate the occasion.
Forward Hemp, who had just signed a new two-year deal, was crucial to her team’s success.
“One of the instructions I gave at halftime was to get the ball to Lauren as much as we can because you could see she was really going for it today,” Taylor continued.
“She adds a lot of enthusiasm and directness to the group. We have a tendency to overdo her at times. She’s fantastic, and we’re thrilled to have her on board.”
Lauren Hemp had just signed a new deal with City a week before the match against Brighton.
The first goal was scored when Hemp’s low cross was deflected into the bottom corner by Williams. The 21-year-old then cut in from the left flank to chip the ball past Megan Walsh, the Brighton goalkeeper, for her fifth goal of the season.
Within the first 10 minutes of the second half, Stanway grabbed onto a blocked shot of her own to score from inside the box, and Coombs scored from long range after Brighton defender Danielle Bowman gave the ball away to make it 4-0 to City.
To make it 5-0, Raso got one-on-one with Walsh, and Losada’s deflected chip from the outside of the box rounded off a spectacular victory for Gareth Taylor’s team.
