FULL-TIME: MAN U 1, ALBION 3

All over and that's three successive wins at Old Trafford now for Albion and a very impressive performance as well. Goals from Minteh, Mitoma and Rutter means we're back up to ninth and three points off the European places. Check back soon for all the reaction on www.brightonandhovealbion.com

Goal!

Rutter
ALBION GO 3-1 UP!!! Ayari puts a decent ball in from the right, although there's seemingly nobody there to meet it. Onana spills it horribly back into the middle of the box though and Georginio is there to take it around the corner and slot home!!!!!

VAN HECKE DENIES FELLOW DUTCHMAN

Amad finds Zirkzee in the box and the Dutch striker looks to curl it home, but van Hecke get his body in the way and it deflects well away from goal.

Goal!

Mitoma
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Brilliant play from Yasin Ayari in the build up who slides the ball out to the right for Minteh. He crosses into the back post and Mitoma is there to meet it and poke home!!! That one will count!
53'

VAR

Joao Pedro puts Albion in front, but Jan Paul van Hecke is adjudged to have kicked Dalot's foot when he tried to take a shot in the build up. VAR takes a look and tells Peter Bankes to go over to the screen. He rules the goal out. It's very unfortunate for Jan Paul and Albion.
47'

BALEBA STRIKE BLOCKED

Albion work it wonderfully out from the back and Joao Pedro is allowed far too much time to turn in the middle. He plays it down the right for Minteh who passes it inside, Mitoma gathers and tees up Baleba to strike from 20-yards, but he smacks it straight into Harry Maguire. That must surely have hurt the United defender but he puts on a brave face.

Yellow Card

Minteh goes into the book for kicking the ball away.

HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALBION

That's a mess from United at the back. Fernandes tries to pass it to Yoro who misses it and Albion are in. Minteh and Welbeck combine before the latter has a shot on goal, but it's blocked by de Ligt and United get it away.
40'

BIG CHANCE FOR UNITED - OFFSIDE

Amad is one-on-one with Verbruggen and tries to take it around the keeper, but the Netherlands international stays on his feet and forces the United winger wide. The hosts try to work it into another goalscoring opportunity, but the flag then goes up for offside. Watching the replay back, Amad is a yard off.

Goal

United equalise. Fernandes rolls it down the left. Verbuggen dives the wrong way.

Penalty

Joshua Zirkzee is caught by Baleba in the back of the head as he looks to take it around Verbruggen. Penalty to United. Baleba booked.
17'

FERNANDES FLUFFS IT WIDE

Amad gets past Mitoma and finds Zirkzee in the box. He rolls it to Fernandes who is in a perfect position to strike on the edge of the box, but he gets the connection all wrong and sends it well wide of the bottom right corner. A good opportunity for our hosts nonetheless.

15 MINUTES PLAYED

Chants of 'Oh Yasin Ayari' ring out from the away end as we enter the 15th minute. It's been a great start for Albion with that early goal and a few times they've managed to work it out from Verbruggen quite easily, much to the displeasure of the home crowd.

The perfect start.

Minteh
MINTEH PUTS ALBION IN FRONT!!! A brilliant start for Albion! There's a question as to whether or not Mitoma is onside but he's played on by Maguire. The Japan international runs at goal before playing it across for Minteh to tap in!!!

JOAO'S CROSS KEPT OUT

2: Dalot takes an age to decide what to do with the ball and his clearance is charged down by Joao Pedro. The forward gathers the ball on the right of the box and crosses in looking for Welbeck, but Onana punches the ball against the former United striker and it flies behind for a goal-kick.

THE UNITED FACTS

Manchester United have lost five of their last six Premier League games against Brighton (W1), including both meetings at Old Trafford in that run. Only against Man City (twice) have they lost three in a row at home in the competition. Brighton have won seven of their 15 Premier League meetings with Manchester United – the Seagulls have the highest win rate against the Red Devils of any side in the competition’s history (47%). None of the 15 Premier League meetings between Manchester United (8 wins) and Brighton (7) have been drawn – only Manchester United vs Wigan has been played more often without any draws in the competition’s history (16). Each of Manchester United’s last 11 Premier League goals against Brighton have come in the second half of the match. They’ve not scored before half-time in any of their last eight meetings with the Seagulls, their joint-longest run without a first half goal against a side in the competition (also 8 vs Chelsea between 2013-2016). This is the sixth time Brighton have faced Manchester United in the Premier League while above them in the league table, and the latest into a season they’ve done so. Having lost the first two such matches, the Seagulls have now won each of the last three. Manchester United lost three of their four Sunday Premier League games under Erik ten Hag this season (D1) but have since lost just one of their seven following the Dutchman’s departure (W3 # D3). Brighton have a higher win rate (38.9%) and average more goals per game (1.6) on Sundays than they do any other day of the week on which they’ve played more than 10 games in the Premier League. There has been at least four goals scored in all four of Brighton’s Premier League games on a Sunday this season (F8 A9). Their average of 4.3 goals-per-game in these games is the highest of any side on either Saturday or Sunday in the competition this term.

They're a big team with big tradition, a big stadium. It will be a big challenge for us, but we go there trying to win.
