NIKITA PARRIS’S header ended her old club Manchester United’s 100 per cent start to the Women’s Super League season as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton on Saturday at Falmer Stadium.

Marc Skinner’s side took the lead through Grace Clinton’s third goal of the campaign in the 10th minute, and the England midfielder was within inches of scoring again four minutes later when she struck the bar.

Brighton subsequently hit back seven minutes into the second half as Parris, who was United’s top-scorer last term before moving on to the Seagulls on transfer deadline day, nodded beyond Phallon Tullis-Joyce.
