Nikita Parris scored her seventh and eighth WSL goals of the season while Geyse picked up her first two assists in the competitionMikey Harris suffered defeat in his first match as Brighton interim boss as Nikita Parris scored twice again for Manchester United.
The England forward has been in electric form this season, netting eight goals in the WSL and leading United's goalscoring charts.
Her clinical finishing was enough to give United a second successive home victory, keeping them within reach of the league's top three.
Brighton remain 10th in the table following their eighth defeat of the season, which came three days after manager Melissa Phillips was surprisingly sacked after nine months in charge.
