Elisabeth Terland's seven goals last season made her the top scoring WSL player aged 21 or younger in the 2022-23 campaignElisabeth Terland scored two first-half goals to help Brighton get their Women's Super League season off to a winning start against Everton.
Brighton took early command when Terland headed home in the third minute after Katie Robinson's shot had struck the crossbar, before adding a second 11 minutes later.
Everton captain Megan Finnigan netted with 25 minutes remaining to give her side hope, but the hosts were unable to find an equaliser despite dominating the second half.
The win marks a positive start for Melissa Phillips' team who were involved in a relegation fight last season.
