Joao Pedro scored a dramatic 95th-minute winner for Brighton, securing a 2-1 victory over Manchester United and extending Brighton’s perfect start to the season under new manager Fabian Hurzeler.
United thought they had won the match when Alejandro Garnacho scored late, but the goal was disallowed by VAR for offside.
Brighton took full advantage, with Pedro heading in the decisive goal from Simon Adingra’s cross. Earlier, former United striker Danny Welbeck had given Brighton the lead, with Amad Diallo equalising for United before Garnacho’s disallowed goal.
The match highlighted both Brighton’s resilience under their young manager and the ongoing struggles for United under Erik ten Hag. Questions remain about United’s ability to finish games and the effectiveness of their squad. The result marks a concerning start to the season for United, while Brighton’s success continues to defy expectations, solidifying their position as a formidable Premier League force.
