Manchester City scored two second-half goals as they came from behind against Brighton to secure new boss Andree Jeglertz’s first Women’s Super League win.
The Swede’s first taste of English football had ended with an opening day loss at reigning champions Chelsea.
And Jeglertz was further frustrated when former England international Fran Kirby drilled past Khiara Keating in the 14th minute for the opener after Michelle Agyemang’s effort had been pushed away.
But City were sparked into life after the restart.
Striker Khadija Shaw – who was the joint-Golden Boot winner with 12 goals last season – levelled in the 58th minute with a superb diving header, before Yui Hasegawa finished perfectly with 16 minutes left.
The hosts, though, wasted several first-half opportunities.
Netherlands forward Vivianne Miedema was presented with four chances alone, but could only direct one on target as Seagulls keeper Chiamaka Nnadozie superbly pushed away her deflected finish.
She was replaced by Aoba Fujino, who made an immediate impact with an assist for compatriot Hasegawa’s winner.
Having received the ball just inside the box, Fujino showed great awareness to find Hasegawa to her left and the Japan captain slotted past Nnadozie.
