Japan international Kiko Seike helped Brighton beat Everton 4-0, Manchester United defeated West Ham 3-0 in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

Brighton went in one up against Everton, Seike winning possession and chipping goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan from outside the box.

Inma Gabarro forced Albion keeper Sophie Baggaley into a tip over but a Brighton breakaway brought them a second goal.

Seike stooped to head home Poppy Pattinson’s cross, then following a handball in the penalty area, Fran Kirby tucked away the spot-kick.

With a strike from just outside the box into the top corner, Seike completed her hat-trick.
