The hosts then made it 2-0 in first half stoppage time, with Leah Galton opening her account for the season with a cracking finish.

United increased their lead early in the second half through Grace Clinton, when she headed home unmarked in the box.

Seike had already impressed on her Seagulls debut before she opened the scoring midway through the first half with an outrageous long-range chip.

Into the second half and Seike's debut got even better when added a second goal with her head to make it 2-0.

Before another debutant - Kirby - made it 3-0 from the penalty spot.
