Premier League: Brighton Humble Manchester United With 3-2 Defeat

A defeat could not have been what Manchester United would have expected at Amex Stadium as it turned out that they humbly loss their second match of the season to Brighton & Hove Albion by 3-2. 
The Seagulls made most of opportunities they had before the break and kept margin to ensure they making away with maximum points as United attempts to make up with the deficit proved futile. 
Jose Mourinho-led team's misery started off before half an hour of play when Brighton's Glenn Murray brilliantly flicked in a cross from Solly March in 25th minutes and that was quickly doubled by Shane Duffy drilling home a left-footed shot after a corner in 27th minutes. 
Romelu Lukaku attempted to reduce the margin by heading in a goal for United from Luke Shaw's shot in 34th minutes, but Seagulls yet widened the goal margin on the brink of half time as Pascal Gross converted the penalty conceded by Eric Bailly in 44th minutes. 
After the break, United could do much to recover from the deficit and could only get a consolation goal from a penalty late into the game which Paul Pogba converted. 
Brighton & HA, in May, managed to stay in the Premier League by beating Manchester United 3-2 at Amex Stadium.
