Manchester United continued to revive their form as they took on Fabian Hürzeler’s Brighton side at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim’s side soared into a 3-0 lead inside the opening 61 minutes thanks to goals from Matheus Cunha, Casemiro and Bryan Mbeumo before an unlikely comeback appeared to be on the cards as veteran Danny Welbeck returned to haunt his former club with a lovely free kick as momentum swung in favour of the seagulls.
Not long after the board went up indicating 7 minutes of injury time, Brighton’s pressure caused major anxiety in the ground as Charalampos Kostoulas netted his first Brighton goal with a near post header.
With momentum firmly in favour of the away side, Man United continued to attack back in a almost careless manner, coming close to dropping 2 valuable points before Mbeumo sealed the 3 points with a late goal, restoring the 2 goal cushion with essentially the last kick of the game.
With the weight slowly seeming to be lifted from Ruben Amorim’s shoulders, Manchester United head into 4th place as Brighton will surely be disappointed to be have not got anything out of the game, leaving them in 13th after 9 matches played.
