Joao Pedro scored a dramatic late header to secure Brighton’s 2-1 victory over Manchester United, marking Fabian Hurzeler’s first Premier League home game as Brighton manager with a thrilling win.
Pedro’s goal, five minutes into added time, came from Simon Adingra’s cross, sealing the victory at a jubilant Amex Stadium.
The match had been closely contested, with Manchester United nearly staging a comeback after Amad Diallo’s equalizer canceled out a first-half goal from former United player Danny Welbeck.
United seemed poised to take the lead when Joshua Zirkzee, who scored on his debut last weekend, tapped in Alejandro Garnacho’s goal-bound shot from an offside position, leading to the goal being disallowed by VAR.
Brighton initially took the lead in the 32nd minute when Welbeck, capitalizing on a cross from Kaoru Mitoma, scored his sixth goal in 16 appearances against his former club.
Manchester United struggled to create clear opportunities in the first half, with a Marcus Rashford effort being ruled out for offside.
In the second half, United manager Erik ten Hag made tactical adjustments, bringing on Joshua Zirkzee and pushing Bruno Fernandes out of the false nine role.
Despite these changes, United found themselves fortunate not to fall further behind, as Brighton continued to press.
Diallo eventually equalized for United in the 60th minute with a low shot that deflected in off Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke.
However, Zirkzee’s offside blunder prevented United from taking the lead, and Pedro’s late header secured Brighton’s second consecutive win under Hurzeler.
