🌟 Lexi Potter's First Senior Goal Seals Victory | Chelsea v Brighton Highlights | Barclays WSL 25/26

18/03/2026

Fresh off their Women’s League Cup triumph, Chelsea secured a vital 2-1 victory over Brighton at Kingsmeadow. The match was defined by a youth-led performance from Sonia Bompastor’s side, who fielded their youngest starting line-up of the WSL season (average age of 24). Despite early pressure from Brighton, Chelsea struck first. Alyssa Thompson connected with a pinpoint cross from Sandy Baltimore to power home a header. The lead lasted only four minutes. Brighton’s Carla Camacho fired a strike from distance that took a heavy deflection off Lucy Bronze, trickling past Hannah Hampton to level the scores. Academy graduate Lexi Potter, making her first WSL start, pounced on a loose ball in the box following another Baltimore cross. Her clinical finish proved to be the match-winner and a milestone first goal for the club.
