A dramatic injury-time goal secures a nervy 4-2 victory for the Red Devils after a two-goal comeback from the visitors threatened to spoil the party at Old Trafford.
Manchester United secured a heart-stopping 4-2 victory over Brighton at Old Trafford, but not before surviving a dramatic late scare that turned a comfortable lead into a tense finale. The win, coming on the heels of their previous triumph over Liverpool, marks a significant three-game winning streak for manager Ruben Amorim’s side.
The home side shook off a strong start from Brighton to take control of the match. Midfielder Matheus Cunha broke the deadlock in the 24th minute with a precise, long-range strike. The lead was doubled just before halftime when a powerful effort from Casemiro took a crucial deflection on its way into the net.
After Bryan Mbeumo seemingly put the game to bed with a ruthless third goal just after the hour mark, United appeared to ease off the pressure. This allowed Brighton a way back into the match, as a late, well-taken free kick from veteran striker Danny Welbeck gave the visitors a glimmer of hope.
That hope turned into genuine belief deep into injury time. With seven minutes added on, Charalampos Kostoulas rose high to head in a corner, setting up a frantic finish. However, with mere seconds remaining on the clock, Mbeumo was the hero again, latching onto a long pass from Ayden Heaven to blast in a decisive fourth goal, finally calming the nerves at a relieved Old Trafford.
