Manchester United made it three Premier League victories in a row with an entertaining 4–2 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford. Under Rúben Amorim, United looked dominant for most of the match, storming into a 3–0 lead thanks to goals from Matheus Cunha, Casemiro, and a brace from Bryan Mbeumo.

Despite their commanding advantage, the Red Devils endured a nervy finish. Former United forward Danny Welbeck pulled one back for Brighton with a superb free-kick, and substitute Charalampos Kostoulas made it 3–2 in stoppage time to briefly raise the visitors’ hopes of a stunning comeback.

But just when the tension peaked, Mbeumo stepped up again. Deep into added time, the Cameroonian forward smashed home his second of the night with a thunderous strike off the crossbar to seal all three points for United and spark celebrations around Old Trafford.
