The match seemed destined for a draw until Simon Adingra found space in the box and lofted a pass to Joao Pedro, who headed in the late winner. United had chances to take the lead, including a disallowed goal from Alejandro Garnacho due to offside, but Brighton’s defense held firm.

With this victory, Brighton remains at the top of the Premier League standings with two wins from two games, continuing their strong form under Huerzeler. The home fans were left ecstatic as Brighton secured another three points, showcasing their determination and resilience.
