Alexia Putellas scored her first goal in the Women's Super League as London City Lionesses defeated Brighton 2-0 at the Copperjax Community Stadium.
The result gives London City a boost as they continue their campaign in the English top flight, with Putellas's contribution marking a notable milestone for the Spanish international since her move into the league. Putellas, a two-time Ballon d'Or winner, has been closely watched by fans following her transition to English football.
Brighton were unable to find a response to London City's attacking performance, falling to the two-goal defeat on their own turf considerations aside, as the Lionesses secured a positive result in the fixture.
The Women's Super League has continued to draw increasing international talent in recent seasons, with high-profile signings such as Putellas raising the profile of the competition further. Her first goal for the club will likely be seen as an encouraging sign for London City as the season progresses.
