Manchester United defeated Brighton 4-2 in a thrilling Premier League encounter at Old Trafford in the 9th round of the season. The home fans enjoyed a night full of goals and excitement as United extended their winning run.
From the start, United took control of the game. Matheus Cunha opened the scoring with his first goal for the club. Soon after, Casemiro doubled the lead from close range to make it 2-0.
Brighton fought back in the second half. Danny Welbeck pulled one back with a powerful free-kick, but United quickly restored their dominance. Bryan Mbeumo scored twice, earning a brace and becoming the hero of the night.
Although Brighton’s Charalampos Kostoulas made it 3-2 in stoppage time, Mbeumo struck again moments later to seal a 4-2 win. The referee blew the final whistle soon after, and “Glory, Glory Man United” echoed around Old Trafford.
Casemiro played a key role with a goal and an assist, while Cunha impressed in his debut. Bruno Fernandes, making his 300th appearance for United, set up one of the goals with a clever no-look pass.
United head coach Ruben Amorim celebrated passionately on the touchline, his fist-pump showing how much this third straight league victory meant. His tactical setup, including Luke Shaw’s advanced position from centre-back, paid off as it led to both Casemiro’s and Mbeumo’s goals.
The win lifted Manchester United to fourth place in the standings with 16 points, while Brighton remained ninth with 12.
Despite a few nervy moments near the end, Amorim praised his team’s attitude and attacking intent. He admitted the late goals showed the side still had areas to improve but was pleased with the overall display.
This was United’s only home match in a 50-day stretch, and they made it count. With confidence growing and three league wins in a row, the Old Trafford crowd had plenty to cheer before the next home fixture in late November.
