Manchester United continued their positive run under coach Ruben Amorim by securing a 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, marking their third consecutive win in the Premier League. Matheus Cunha, Casemiro, and Bryan Mbeumo each contributed goals to the impressive performance.
Cunha opened the scoring with a fantastic 24th-minute strike, registering his first goal for United. Casemiro added to the lead with a fortuitous goal that took a deflection before finding the net, while Mbeumo extended the advantage with a well-taken goal just after the hour mark.
Despite Danny Welbeck’s brilliant free-kick goal for Brighton and Charalampos Kostoulas’s late header, Manchester United managed to secure the win. Mbeumo’s second goal of the match sealed the victory, lifting United to fourth place in the league standings, with Brighton remaining in 12th position.
The match against Brighton posed a significant challenge for Manchester United as their opponents had been successful in recent encounters. The win at Anfield was a milestone for Amorim, who emphasized the importance of maintaining the winning momentum against Brighton to sustain their revival.
Cunha’s impressive goal from outside the box showcased his scoring prowess, while Casemiro’s deflected strike and Mbeumo’s clinical finish demonstrated United’s dominance in the game. Despite some shaky moments allowing Brighton to make a comeback, Mbeumo’s final goal secured United’s third consecutive league victory, a feat not achieved since August 2024.
