Brighton secured a famous 3-1 win at Manchester United as things went from bad to worse for Erik ten Hag’s side after a challenge-filled fortnight.

Brighton who have been impressive under Roberto De Zerbi broke the deadlock with former Manchester United striker, Danny Welbeck scoring in the 20th minute.
After recess, Lampety assisted Pascal Gross in the 53rd minute to double the lead for Brighton before substitute Joao Pedro made it 3-0 in the 71st minute.
However, Hannibal Mejbri’s first United goal gave the hosts some hope, but in a frenetic finish, it was the visitors who came closest to finding the net again as Andre Onana made four excellent saves, the best of which came in injury time to deny on-loan Barcelona man Ansu Fati a debut goal.
It was United’s first home defeat in 13 months when Brighton again triumphed here. The Seagulls are now on a run of four successive Premier League wins over their hosts, and this victory brought more boos at the final whistle, though not on anywhere near the same scale as when Hojlund was withdrawn.
