Pascal Gross celebrates his goal against united


MAN UTD 1:2 BRIGHTON! Pascal Gross double at half time was enough to seal victory for the seagulls over united.

​​​​​Pascal Gross's first-half double gave Brighton a surprise 2-1 win at Man Utd as Erik ten Hag has some thinking to do as he side suffered a surprising defeat in his first league match of the season.

Brighton took the lead in the 30th minutes of play. The visitors was really into the game as the ball was crossed to the other side of the post through Danny Welbeck and the unmarked Brighton midfielder found himself in the right place, at the right time, to tap the visitors into a 2-0 lead with two goals in nine minutes in the Manchester sunshine, as the hosts were booed off at half-time by their own fans.

However, Alexis Mac Allister's clumsy own goal midway through the second interval, awarded after a lengthy Video Assistant Referee check for both handball and offside, briefly breathed new life into the hosts and their supporters.

But United were unable to find an equaliser and as a result, Ten Hag suffered defeat in his first Premier League encounter, while Brighton secured a famous and rare win at Old Trafford having drawn just one of their last nine league visits, with eight defeats. 



United will be up against Brentford away from home next week and the united faithful will be hoping for much improvement as Ten Hag will hope to get his first league win for the club.
