Brighton and Hove Albion have now won the last four meetings against Manchester United in the Premier League.

Brighton and Hove Albion are trolling Manchester United after another remarkable victory against the Red Devils at Old Trafford.

Brighton ended Manchester United’s 31-game unbeaten run at home following a comprehensive 3-1 win on Saturday. 

The Seagulls have now made Old Trafford their home with the latest win extending their unbeaten run.

Buoyed by an impressive 31-game unbeaten run, Erik Ten Hag’s men started brilliantly but failed to make their early dominance count.

Brighton grew into the game after the first 20 minutes and never looked back as two goals in either half from Danny Welbeck, who scored against his former club, and Pascal Gross gave the visitors a 2-0 lead.

United started the second half as the did the first but it was Brighton that extended their lead when super-sub, Joao Pedro made it 3-0 with an excellent finish.

Tunisian youngster, Hannibal Mejbri, came off the bench to pull one back with a stunning strike to make it a more respectable scoreline.
