Man United loses again - this time to Brighton
A 3-1 win over Southampton helped Manchester United break a run of three defeats and a draw in the EPL, but Brighton brought the Red Devils back down to earth.
The visitors opened the scoring as early as in the fifth minute when Minteh after Mitoma's pass hit the goal.
Baleba helped Man United to get back on track when he went into a rough tackle and earned a penalty in his own goal - Fernandes confidently beat the goalkeeper and made it 1-1.
But in the second half, Brighton took the lead again. The duo of Mitoma and Minteh worked again, but only the players switched roles - now Minteh assisted, and Mitoma scored.
The final score was set by Rutter, who took advantage of Onana's monstrous mistake and brought Brighton the victory - 3:1.
