[Albion](https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/albion/?ref=au) suffered a 3-2 defeat at home to Manchester United in WSL – after an exciting finish at Broadfield Stadium.
They trailed 2-0 and 3-1 but goals from Fran Kirby and Kiko Seike kept hopes alive among home fans in a crowd of 3,363.
Former Albion striker Elisabeth Terland was marginally offside when she guided a shot into the bottom corner heading into first-half stoppage time.
She was unmarked as another former Albion favourite Julia Zigiotti, helped on an Ella Toone pass.
That will have been tough to take for the hosts, who had defended well and posed a few questions of thei own in the first half.
Terland and Zigiotti were both off target and Chiamaka Nnadozie’s one save of note came low to her right to deny Toone.
Carla Camacho was a nuisance for the United defence and Phallon Tullis-Joyce held a Jelena Cankovic shot before Rosa Kafaji was off target.
Jess Park added a well-taken second on 58 minutes after Albion gave possession away close to their own area and United cleverly worked space for the finish.
Seike could have quickly pulled one back but her shot hit the far post after she had dispossessed Maya Le Tissier.
But Kirby cut the deficit on 68 minutes with a precise finish after Marisa Olislagers had sent her through.
Lisa Naalsund thought she had eased any nerves with her late finish for United but Seike ran on to a weak back pass and lifted an injury-time reply over Tullis-Joyce.
Albion got balls into the box in the little time which remained but without reward.
