Lee Geum-min secured a shock win for Brighton as Women's Super League title hopefuls Manchester City suffered back-to-back defeats.

City have already dropped eight points from their first six games with their bid to win the division suffering early setbacks.

Lee combined with fellow former City player Pauline Bremer to turn past Khiara Keating in the 81st minute.

The hosts were on top throughout but failed to make the most of their dominance and were made to pay.

Brighton goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley kept her side in the game as they held on before snatching a late victory.

It was Brighton's second unexpected result in as many weeks after holding Manchester United to a 2-2 draw last time out.

City were beaten away at Arsenal last weekend.
