Brazilian forward Joao Pedro scored in the fifth minute of added time to give Brighton a 2-1 victory over <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/manchester-united/" target="_blank">Manchester United</a> at the Amex Stadium on Saturday. The Seagulls took the lead in the 32nd minute when former United striker Danny Welbeck stabbed the ball home to score against his boyhood club. It was Welbeck's 100th goal in all competitions and his fifth against United. Amad Diallo then got Erik ten Hag's visitors back in the game with a deflected shot on the hour. Substitute Alejandro Garnacho thought he had scored the winner 18 minutes from time when he turned home Bruno Fernandes' cross but the goal was ruled out for offside by VAR after it had brushed Joshua Zirkzee's knee on the way in. The defeat means the pressure is already on for Ten Hag, who saved his job last season by <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2024/05/25/pep-guardiola-takes-the-blame-as-manchester-city-lose-to-united-in-fa-cup-final/" target="_blank">winning the FA Cup against Manchester City. </a> After the Brighton defeat, the Dutchman said: "If you protect the goal like we do then you drop points. "We concede two soft goals where we should act better as a team. We have to be alive in such moments." With Liverpool set to visit Old Trafford next weekend, the spotlight is back on the United boss, who started with the same line-up he fielded when they scraped a <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2024/08/17/manchester-united-debut-couldnt-be-any-better-for-joshua-zirkzee/" target="_blank">narrow 1-0 home win against Fulham on the opening day</a>. Ten Hag again sent out his side without a centre-forward with new signing Zirkzee starting the game on the bench and Fernandes and Mason Mount playing as false nines. The victory meant new Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has made a perfect start to life in the Premier League with two wins from his first two games. Afterwards, the German told the BBC's Match of the Day:<b> </b>"It was very emotional, always when you get the win in the last minute it is. I think we deserved to win, we had a good game not a perfect game. There were also situations where United had the chance to win the game. "I'm very proud of the team, they showed the value of never giving up and that's very important to me." On goalscorer Pedro he said: "I think Joao is a player who can decide the game with one action. For me it was impressive today how he worked against the ball. He had the belief he would score and that's something that makes him special."
