Alexia Putellas opened her English career with a goal that secured a 2‑0 victory for London City Lionesses over Brighton & Hove Albion, propelling the Lionesses to second place in the Women's Super League (WSL) standings.

The match, played in front of a packed London City home crowd, saw Putellas find the back of the net early in the second half. Her strike was the only goal of the game, giving the Lionesses a clean sheet and a valuable two points.

Brighton were unable to find a response, and the defeat left them in the lower half of the table. The result has moved London City Lionesses up the standings, putting them in a strong position for the rest of the season.

Putellas, who previously played for FC Barcelona, has made a swift impact in English football. Her first goal in the WSL marks a milestone for both the player and the club as they aim to challenge for top honours.
