Brighton and Hove Albion stunned a haphazard Manchester United 3-2 at the Amex Stadium on Sunday.
The win puts both teams at 1-1, with the Gulls getting goals from Glenn Murray, Pascal Gross, and Shane Duffy. Romelu Lukaku scored for United in the first half, before Marouane Fellaini drew a Paul Pogba-converted penalty.

Pogba played Romelu Lukaku through on goal, but the Belgian’s hard low strike zipped wide of the near post.
It was mostly United in the first 20 minutes before Anthony Knockaert raced onto a long ball and spun a 20-yard shot wide of David De Gea’s far post.
Brighton did indeed take the lead through Murray, who cut in front of Victor Lindelof to flick a pretty ball from Solly March beyond De Gea.
Duffy then settled a cross in the heart of the United box before doubling Brighton’s advantage, and it would be a big dig for United.
Lukaku made it 2-1, rewarding for a fine first half-hour with a knockdown header from Luke Shaw’s partially blocked shot.
But a poor pass from David De Gea led to Eric Bailly’s sliding challenge on Pascal Gross. He converted the penalty to make it 3-1.
Mourinho completed his substitutions early, taking off Anthony Martial, Andreas Pereira, and Juan Mata for Marcus Rashford (HT), Jesse Lingard (HT), and Marouane Fellaini (60').
United snapped to life with 16 minutes to play, Paul Pogba forcing Mathew Ryan into a flying parry.
But only a Fellaini-won penalty arrived deep in stoppage time, with Pogba converting his effort.
