FT: Man Utd 1-1 Brighton
A point apiece then and that means Manchester United's Champions League hopes will be officially over if Arsenal beat Brighton on Wednesday.

Brighton had just one shot on target but will be looking at that big chance for Madison Haley in the second half as costly miss.
Lea Schuller's goal was United only shot on target in the second half and it was a far from vintage display. But that took something from the game and, mathematically at least, Champions League qualification is still possible... for now.

Manchester United avoid defeat but more dropped points all-but ends their almost fading hopes of Champions League qualification.
For Brighton, it's frustration at not being able to see it through and claim another 'top four' scalp but another encouraging performance, especially in the first half.
Man Utd 1-1 Brighton
It ends all square as Lea Schuller rescues a point for Manchester United with her first WSL goal for the club, deep into stoppage time.
Brighton will feel hard done by having led for so long through Jelena Cankovic's first-half effort.

We know Man United are capable of late goals. It's a ball from Melvine Malard who gets the cross in but then found Jayde Riviere. It's a great finish from Lea Schuller.
Lea Schuller
Almost from nowhere!
The ball is played down the right for Melvine Malard, she cuts in back and there is Lea Schuller to thump the ball home first time.
The substitute brings United level. Is there time for a winner?
Man Utd 0-1 Brighton
There is a quiet around Progress with Unity Stadium as Brighton win another throw-in and the clock ticks down ever further.
Hope is in short supply among the United fans right now, it seems.

Manuela Vanegas takes the ball to the corner for Brighton but misses the defender when trying to win the corner kick and smashes it behind for a goal kick.

You can hear the crowd urging United on. They're in the game still it's just the decisions. Brighton have been just as good defensively, they've dealt with most of what has been thrown at them by United.
Man Utd 0-1 Brighton
Brighton have a throw-in inside the Manchester United half with less than a minute of the 90 remaining.
Time is running out for United.
Man Utd 0-1 Brighton
The counter-attack came to nothing but Brighton are closing in on a fourth straight win in all competitions.
All eyes will be on the fourth official to see how much added time there will be.
Man Utd 0-1 Brighton
A foul on Jayde Riviere gives Manchester United a chance to pump the ball into box from just inside the Brighton half.
Maya le Tissier does just that but Chiamaka Nnadozie comes out to punch and Brighton break.
Man Utd 0-1 Brighton
Into the last five minutes of the 90 and the game is now being playing exclusively in the Brighton half.
But the offside flag goes up and Brighton can wile away a few more seconds.

Listen to that round of applause. Just shows just how valued Leah Galton is at Man United. Fantastic player, when she's on her game she's unbelievable. Incredible pace, and capable of scoring fantastic goals.
Man Utd 0-1 Brighton
Double changes for both sides.
Ella Toone and Jess Park head off, on comes Lea Schuller... and, to the loudest cheer of the day, Leah Galton.
Is it all set up for her in her final home game as a Manchester United player?
Meanwhile, Brighton send on Carla Camacho and Nadine Noordam for Fran Kirby and Kiko Seike.

Madison Haley is shown a yellow card for a very obvious pull on Simi Awujo.
There is a suggestion it was a hair pull but no, just a pull back and a booking for the Brighton striker.

I think at the moment in this game the decision making in the final third, Man United get themselves in good areas but it's that final ball, or decision on the ball. It's went into the hands of Brighton at times.
With a lack of goals, you can't forget Elisabeth Terland has been injured too.
Man Utd 0-1 Brighton
Nicely done by Fran Kirby. Collecting the ball on the halfway line, wide on the right and just driving down the line to win a throw-in in United territory.

Lea Schuller nets late leveller for hosts
Lea Schuller's injury-time equaliser denied Brighton a memorable victory at Leigh Sports Village but the draw means Manchester United's hopes of returning to the Champions League are virtually over.
After victories over Arsenal and Manchester City last month, FA Cup semi-finalists Brighton were about to add a a first away win at United to their impressive recent CV thanks to Jelena Cankovic's first-half goal.
Schuller's effort stopped that from happening - but it didn't do much to lift spirits in the home ranks.
It extended a run of just one win in nine games and Arsenal now require just three points from their final four games to close the door on a Champions League return for Man Utd.
The result will do little to quell the chatter around boss Marc Skinner's future, even though the man himself said on Thursday he still expects to be at the club next season.
Brighton will count themselves unlucky. They were the better side for long periods and thought Cankovic's effort was going to be enough.
The Serbia midfielder pounced on a stray pass from Manchester United goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce outside the area, then beat the American with a tidy finish after darting into the box.
Madison Haley was inches away from making it two midway through the second half.
Until Schuller's late leveller, Melvine Malard had provided United's only significant threat with a low first-half shot that Chiamaka Nnadozie did well to save.
I'm accountable for Man Utd results - Skinner
Leah Galton was part of a United side that went on a lap of appreciation after the final whistle.
The songs in Galton's honour underlined her status at a club she will leave in the summer.
Along with Ella Toone and Millie Turner, Galton is one of three remaining members of United's first professional squad in 2018.
Despite being plagued by a back problem all season, she was able to come on for the final 10 minutes to an enthusiastic ovation.
However, her exit feels symbolic as United head into an uncertain summer at the end of a season that promised so much but, since the memorable Champions League triumph over Atletico Madrid, has petered out badly.
Skinner has tried to quell the talk about his future but after such a disappointing end to the campaign, he knows improvement will be required if United are just to stand still.
In addition to the three teams destined to finish above them, the club also know a number of the clubs below are snapping at their heels, Brighton being one of them.
The Seagulls are in a wonderful place.
Indeed, after coming so close to one slice of history, next week they will attempt to carve out a more significant one by reaching the FA Cup final for the first time.
After shocking Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-finals they then stunned Manchester City to delay the champions-elect's title celebrations.
In addition, they have announced plans for a new 10,000-capacity purpose-built women's stadium next to their main ground at Falmer.
Manchester United play their final WSL game at Chelsea on Saturday, 16 May (13:00 BST). Brighton entertain Arsenal in the WSL on Wednesday, 6 May (19:45 BST) and take on Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final at St Helens on Sunday, 10 May (12:15 BST)
