WSL highlights: Aston Villa 2-1 Brighton

Aston Villa staged an incredible comeback against Brighton in the Women's Super League, winning 2-1 after trailing 1-0 at halftime. The turnaround was all thanks to a stunning two-goal spree by Daly and Hanson in just 92 seconds.

The hosts had taken control through a goal from Brighton's own half, but Aston Villa refused to give up. It was then that the in-form duo of Osha Fordham and Keira Walsh were replaced by Chloe Dyer and Ella Toone, who made an immediate impact off the bench.

Just two minutes after coming on, Dyer set up Hanson for a leveler, before she slotted home herself to level the scores. In the process, she equalled Aston Villa's record for most goals scored in a single season by a female player.

But the Villans weren't done yet. And it was Hanson who provided the decisive moment of the match with a magnificent goal just 92 seconds after her first strike. The 22-year-old netted from outside the box, leaving the Brighton goalkeeper with no chance to make a save and sparking wild celebrations among Aston Villa's fans.

With this thrilling result, Aston Villa move up to third place in the Women's Super League table, while Brighton fall behind their London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

I'm loving how Aston Villa came from behind like my grandma always says "when life gives you lemons make lemonade"... but if life gives you a 1-0 lead at halftime and then promptly loses it... well, just shake your head and laugh! 😂 Those two girls Daly and Hanson are like the dynamic duo of soccer - they're unstoppable! And I'm not sure what's more impressive, their goal-scoring skills or how quickly they can make up for a team's mistakes 🤣. But seriously, that 92-second turnaround is insane! Aston Villa's bench must have been like a special forces unit - in and out, no questions asked 💪!
