Manchester United eliminated from League Cup after 3-2 loss to Brighton

Brighton secured a dramatic 3‑2 victory at Old Trafford after overturning a two‑goal deficit, delivering a surprise defeat to Manchester United in Saturday’s Premier League clash. United opened the scoring early and doubled their lead before halftime, but the visitors responded swiftly in the second half, netting three unanswered goals to claim all three points.

The comeback was spearheaded by Brighton’s attacking trio, who each contributed to the turnaround with a mix of quick passing and clinical finishing. United’s slow start, marked by a lack of cohesion in midfield and limited chances created, persisted throughout the match, leaving them unable to recover after conceding the equaliser. The result leaves United still searching for consistency, while Brighton’s resurgence boosts their position in the league table.

Both clubs will look to address the issues highlighted by the encounter as the season progresses, with United aiming to halt their erratic form and Brighton hoping to build on the momentum generated by the comeback win.
