Brighton's Ini Umotong makes Women's World Cup statement with goal against Liverpool

Ini Umotong was on target as Brighton & Hove Albion secured a stunning 2-0 away victory over Liverpool in Sunday's English Women's Super League encounter.

The 24-year-old forward scored her second goal of the season on her 12th appearance as Hope Powell's side sealed their first away win in the English topflight this term.

The visitors started well as Laura Rafferty gave them the lead in the 34th minute after Umotong's fierce effort was deflected to the path by the crossbar in the first half.

The Nigerian's relentless effort to get on the score sheet finally paid off when she fired past Liverpool keeper Anke Preuss four minutes after the restart to cement Brighton's win at the Prenton Park.
