Manchester United secured a third successive Premier League victory as they survived a late scare to beat Brighton & Hove Albion 4–2 on Saturday.
The Red Devils were in a confident mood at Old Trafford after back-to-back wins and found themselves two goals ahead by the half-time whistle. Matheus Cunha’s first United goal was added to by Casemiro, whose heavily deflected strike put Ruben Amorim’s men in a commanding position.
They continued to purr after the restart, with Bryan Mbeumo etching his name on to the scoresheet with a neat finish, but Danny Welbeck’s wonderful free kick flipped momentum and unnerved the hosts in the closing stages.
Charalampos Kostoulas further reduced the deficit in stoppage time with a near-post header, but Mbeumo scored his second of the match in the dying embers to clinch all three points for the Red Devils.
