Manchester United defeated Brighton 4-2 in game week nine of the Premier League. Cunha gave United the lead in the 24th minute with a shot from outside the box, and Casemiro doubled the advantage.
Bryan Mbeumo made it three in the 61st minute. Danny Welbeck pulled one back for Brighton with a spectacular free kick in the 74th minute, and Charalampos Kostoulas halved the deficit with a header from a James Milner corner. Mbeumo restored United’s two-goal lead in stoppage time.
After the victory, Ruben Amorim praised his attacking line: “They have a lot of talent. I really liked the way the front three defended. Matheus Cunha did a really good job defensively.
Adding that: “It was completely different from the first games. Bryan Mbeumo is a working machine, and every time we kicked the ball, Benjamin Sesko was there.”
Manchester United will face Nottingham Forest in their next Premier League match, aiming to extend their winning run to four consecutive games.
