Brighton & Hove Albion maintained their impressive start to the Women’s Super League season under new head coach Dario Vidosic, securing a thrilling 4-2 victory over Aston Villa in a match filled with drama. The game took a pivotal turn when Villa's Paula Tomás received a controversial red card at a crucial moment. The match was tightly contested, with the score tied at 2-2 after Rachel Daly netted two goals for Villa. Brighton responded with goals from Nikita Parris and Pauline Bremer, keeping the pressure on their opponents. However, the turning point came late in the game when Brighton was awarded a penalty. Tomás was deemed to have impeded Kiko Seike's run in the penalty area, leading to her being shown a straight red card, much to the dismay of the Villa players and fans. This decision proved decisive as Brighton capitalized on their numerical advantage to secure the win.
