83 min: Trosar gives way to Mopey.
81 min: Cucurella is left to dribble in the middle without being challenged for a while. United are lucky that only Welbeck is in step with him and the attack eventually fails. The lack of United’s surveillance speaks volumes.
79 mins: Free kick for United on the left when Fred is cut by Weltman. He is in a dangerous position right on the penalty area of Brighton, but Fernandez swings the bad guy right in the throat of Sanchez.
78 min: By the way, the team’s sheets are at Anfield. Barry Glendening has all the details.
76 min: As if United weren’t worried enough, here comes the living Tariq Lampty. It replaces March.
75 min: Teles centers on the left. Sanchez claims. Amex bounces. What an atmosphere!
74 mins: Fernandes has a long shot. Sanchez claims without any noise. “It was certainly sad that it took so long to bake the cake in question,” wrote Jimmy Webb John Little. “This combined team looks like something a group of students prepared after closing on Friday at the end of the semester.”
72 mins: Dalot calls a low cross from the right. Bisuma stops to reach Ronaldo, allowing a corner. Fernandez takes a long time. Maguire wins a header and sends the ball down to the left. Sanchez extends a strong hand. The ball goes back to Maguire, who sends a low blow to the face of the door. Cavani turns from the right beam, but is clearly offside.

71 min: Ronaldo cuts an ambitious effort. Then talk about the red devil … here’s Maguire. He replaces Mata.
70 mins: It was a good day for Harry Maguire, if no one else was connected to United. “This United team is far beyond the tactical analysis for me,” Matthew Richman began. “The level of professional effort of this team is deplorable and it is a bit strange why. I would not be too motivated to strive for a club based more on marketing prestige than on the success of the field, supported by unloved and largely absent owners. I’ve been a Manchester United fan all my life and I always will be, despite all the reasons, but there are so few things that are nice about this club these days. “
68 min: Fernandes shoots from a distance. His shot is reflected to the left. Angle. The serial figure worked for a long time on Fernandez, who sent a screamer through the crowd of players, but straight to Sanchez, who parried. Brighton were sensational today, and Sanchez finished more than anything.
67 min: One corner leads to another. Before being taken, Mac Allister gave way to Webster. The second corner was cleared confidently by De Gea.
65 minutes: It should be five. Gross and McAllister are going through a huge hole in United’s defense. Mac Alistair is waiting to hit home near the left post when Dalot arrives and takes the ball off his finger. It bounces off the base of the beam and goes for a corner. United look drunk.
63 mins: “You’re not fit to wear a shirt.” I’m not sure who’s singing this, whether United fans are swearing at this crowd or Brighton fans who are involved in the mix. It could be one or both, right. United tries to answer, Mata crosses from the left, Cavani shoots with his head towards the door. Sanchez parries clearly. Nothing is going the way of United.
62 mins: There is a long VAR check, but the ball hits Trosar in the waist. Welbeck was also not offside. The referee points to the central circle and can anyone believe what is happening here ?!
GOAL! Brighton 4-0 Manchester United (Trosard 60)
Brighton fans give him olés … then, if that is not uncomfortable enough for United, Gross passes on the inner right channel for Welbeck, who enters the penalty area and tries to throw De Gea. Dalot acrobatically grabs the line, but only hits the ball in Trosar’s chest. Trosar goes home, and United falls apart like a cake left by the rain. Oh no neeeee!

58 mins: Ronaldo reacts to the goal by shrugging and smiling wryly. What can a man do?
GOAL! Brighton 3-0 Manchester United (Gross 57)
This is an amazing goal! Sanchez throws a diagonal pass to Kukurela on the left outline. Kukurela catches a trap and rolls in the field for Trosar, who enters the United box and postpones for Gross, who makes a touch to go around Varane on the left, then directs a shot through De Gea and in the lower right corner. Peach move!
56 mins: Mata catches a bad header from Weltman. On the edge of D, he spins and throws the falling ball straight into Sanchez’s throat. Decent effort from not much, from a distance the best of United tonight.
55 min: Mata’s speculative ball is taken out of Dunk’s corner for a corner. The kit is a nervous breakdown that Dalot tries to save with a shot from a distance. Miles over the bar. The camera captures De Gea at the other end; he looks like a man who can’t believe what’s happening in front of him.
53 min: Mata crosses from the left. Kukurela moves the ball away from danger. Brighton counter. Welbeck drills to the left. He is forced to check again, but then Gross runs Marsh to the right with a sweet ass. The low cross in March was broken by Lindelof.
51 mins: In fact, a three-goal lead would not flatter Brighton, and they almost got it when Trosar turned and turned down to the left, reaching the corner of the six-yard penalty area. He could not find a teammate with his focused centering and United cleared their lines. Visitors are everywhere in the back.
GOAL! Brighton 2-0 Manchester United (Cucurela 49)
First goal for Brighton for Kukurela … and what a goal! Throw to the right. Mac Allister lowered his chest and fired low through the six-yard box. Trosar retrieves the ball from the left and cuts for Kukurela, who covers a growing thrash in the upper left corner! Brighton deserves this result.

47 min: Dalot enters the book for a reckless, frustrated slide on Mac Allister.
Brighton starts the second half. United are nine times behind at halftime this season: they have lost seven and drawn two. Hoping to overcome this trend, they brought Cavani and Fred in place of Matic and Elanga. “Mata, Matic. and Bruno means Man U is pretty slow in the middle of the pitch, ”Jean Salorio began. “It’s not exactly suitable for the counters that Rangnik mentions in your introduction to MBM. Solskjær was limited, but I remain puzzled about how Rangnick is improving. “
A wonderful moment at half time. As Ian Pearson mentioned in the 17th minute, Brighton saved their league status 25 years ago at the expense of Hereford. Then the club was at the top, with so much in mind that they failed to choose player of the year. This has now been rectified by a fan vote, and Stuart Storr has been named Player of the Year 1996-97. All smiles, he received a silver tray as a reward. Wonderful scenes.
Half time fun. A big, potentially defining Anfield game of the season follows this game. Barry Glendening will be on duty at MBM, but in the meantime here is the visualization of Barney Ronay.
HALF: Brighton 1-0 Manchester United
This result flatters United. Brighton roams them at will. If they do not come together, they will lose their fifth consecutive visit, a sequence they have not had since the days of Dave Sexton.
45 mins: Ronaldo receives a yellow card for a bad slippery shot by Dunk. This was not malicious, just wrong to the point of comedy, Ronaldo trimmed his opponent’s ankle to pieces in a slow motion. Action perfectly accompanied by a sliding whistle and a cymbal.

44 mins: McAllister, March, Bisuma and Gross draw beautiful triangles down the inner right channel and almost open United. Mac Alistair is caught offside.
43 min: Sanchez leaves for a long time. Varan is wrong, with De Gea on a walk. Welbeck sneaks in between the pair and tries to hit the stranded guard. He gets too much on it, the ball floats over the crossbar. Great chance to double Brighton’s lead.
42 mins: United feeds by clearing a free kick, and Brighton want a penalty for an alleged play with McTomney’s hand. Neither the referee nor the VAR is interested.
41 mins: Disappointed Matic unnecessarily pushes Marsh from behind and this is a free kick just to the right of United’s penalty area. Everyone loads the box. Buckets for making.
40 mins: Gross passes to the right to free Marsh in an acre of space. Fortunately for United, the reduction in March is not good.
39 mins: Ronaldo takes a terrible free kick miles over the crossbar. Home fans laugh / applaud ironically.
