Green at the double as Albion win first WSL game of 2022
score after Reading failed to deal with Brazil’s cross.
With just moments remaining Eikeland scored a consolation but their fivegame win streak run came to an emphatic end.
Brighton goal-scorer Kayleigh Green said: “We’ve had a bad luck of runs lately and I think as team we had a conversation about a week ago and we know it’s not good enough.
“Today was just about that performance for us and if we can find that performance on the back of that we can get some wins. The performance was there today and it shows what we can create which is fantastic.
“It was nice to score four as usually teams do it to us. It’s the first win against Reading we’ve ever had so it’s a fantastic feeling for us.
On her goals: “It was a great position I found myself in and a great header.
With set piece we’re not always consistent, it just shows their keeper had to save one off the line and one went in.
“We’ve been working on keeping the width a little bit more. We’ve got pace with myself and Ellie Brazil and we wanted to exploit that back line with the pace. When me and Brazil play together we understand each other. This is our fourth season now, we’ve got that understanding and it just shows today. Every goalkeeper I always do my reviews and I know Grace Moloney comes off her line quite quickly and I knew I had to take that quite early before she was set.”
