Brighton vs Man Utd Highlights

Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Brighton, said it was an "honor" to work with his team as they pursued European football for the first time in the club's 122-year existence after their recent morale-boosting victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Seagulls were expecting a tough test as Erik ten Hag's United came to town only 11 days after their FA Cup semifinal match at Wembley. It was the visitors who threatened an early breakthrough when Antony wasted a great opportunity to score but shot wide of the goal.

Thankful for the break, Brighton swiftly got back into the game. David de Gea stopped shots from Kaoru Mitoma and Adam Webster, while Marcus Rashford continued to provide United a threat at the other end. The crowd was captivated by the end-to-end atmosphere of the game despite the goalless first half hour as both teams searched for an early goal before halftime. Jason Steele remained firm to stop Anthony Martial from scoring, and Facundo Buonanotte curled wide from the edge of the box to ensure that there was no difference between the two teams heading into halftime.

The hosts came out after the break ready to establish their dominance over the game after failing to score only once in the league since October. Even though Brighton had the ball and played effectively in the build-up, the Seagulls' lack of finesse in the final third proved to be an issue as Mitoma and Danny Welbeck both missed the target from good positions inside the box. The visitors went in search of a late winner to secure their spot in the Premier League top four as the clock approached the last 20 minutes.

However, after De Gea saved United by stopping Mac Allister, Luke Shaw's handball gave Brighton the chance to win it in overtime, and the Argentine buried the ball to electrify the Amex. With two fewer games played than their European opponents as a result of the outcome, Brighton moves up to sixth place in the Premier League standings, while United maintains fourth place with a four-point lead over Liverpool in fifth.
