She was unlucky not to be given a hattrick when she forced an own goal from Brighton defender Bergsvand. Agnes Beever-Jones scored Chelsea\u2019s fourth, her first for the club.<\/p>\n<p>Elisabeth Terland scored in the 90th minute to make the score 4-2.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/22\/16\/76863411-12659251-image-a-79_1697989604366.jpg\" height=\"431\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Nusken scores Chelsea&#8217;s second goal of the game to put them ahead at Kingsmeadow\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There were some promising signs from this Brighton team, however. They looked dangerous on the counter-attack and the link-up play between Robinson and Bremer is a promising relationship that seems to be strengthening the more matches they play together.<\/p>\n<p>Seven of Brighton\u2019s starting XI were signed in the summer and it was always going to take some time for them to settle in.<\/p>\n<p>But things may get worse before they get better for Melissa Phillips\u2019s side, with Brighton set to play their next three games against Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal &#8211; the rest of last season\u2019s top four.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12659251\/Chelsea-Women-4-2-Brighton-Women-Sjoeke-Nusken-nets-brace-Blues-level-Man-City-WSL-table.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Chelsea Women 4-2 Brighton Women:\u00a0Sjoeke Nusken nets a brace as Blues go level with Man City at the top of WSL table Chelsea eased to <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/soccer\/chelsea-women-4-2-brighton-women-sjoeke-nusken-nets-a-brace\/\" title=\"Chelsea Women 4-2 Brighton Women:\u00a0Sjoeke Nusken nets a brace\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292674,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
