Manchester United Triumph Over Brighton in a 4–2 Thriller

Old Trafford, Manchester – Manchester United showcased attacking brilliance and resilience as they powered to a 4–2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in an entertaining Premier League clash on Sunday.

The Red Devils stamped their authority early in the game, with Matheus Cunha opening the scoring in the 24th minute after a well-crafted team move. Moments later, Casemiro doubled the advantage in the 34th minute, capitalizing on defensive disorganization in Brighton’s backline.

After the break, United continued to control possession, and their efforts paid off when Bryan Mbeumo struck twice — first in the 61st minute and again deep into stoppage time (90+7') — sealing a well-deserved brace and confirming the home side’s dominance.

Brighton, however, refused to go down quietly. Former United striker Danny Welbeck pulled one back in the 74th minute with a sharp finish, before Charalampos Kostoulas added a late consolation goal in injury time. Despite their spirited fightback, the visitors couldn’t recover from the early onslaught.

The win provides a much-needed boost for Erik ten Hag’s men as they look to regain consistency and climb the Premier League table. For Brighton, the result highlights defensive lapses that will need urgent attention ahead of their next fixture.

United’s next meeting with Brighton is scheduled for May 24, 2026, promising another exciting encounter as both teams continue their push for top-flight glory.
