Brighton has signed the USA forward, Taylor Smith on loan from Gotham FC for the rest of the season. The 30-year-old has won the NWSL Championship twice. Taylor is a skilled player with the mindset of a competitor, bringing about a vast experience as per Melissa Philips, head coach at Brighton.
Arsenal dismantled Brighton in the first half, with three of Arsenal's player of the season nominees scoring: Blackstenius (with a brace), Frida Maanum, and Victoria Pelova.
