Man Utd lost to Brighton after last minute mistake

Man Utd traveled to Brighton with many worries. Like the two previous encounters with this opponent this season, the Red Devils continued to face difficulties. The make-up match of round 28 of the Premier League also did not have a penalty shootout for Man Utd to beat Brighton the way they did in the FA Cup 2 weeks ago.

Man Utd lost to Brighton.

Brighton and Man Utd increased the tempo of the game right from the first minutes. The visitors had the first chance but Antony's shot went wide. Two minutes later, Brighton responded with Kaoru Mitoma's shot hitting goalkeeper David de Gea in the face.

Brighton's build-up system worked well. Man Utd settled for a deep position, waiting for opportunities in transition. Both sides created good chances but failed to capitalise.

In the second half, the game did not change much. Brighton controlled the ball more but did not create many dangerous situations. Man Utd blocked the home team's explosive players to ensure safety in front of De Gea's goal. On the other hand, Man Utd's attack also lacked sharpness and did not do well in counter-attacks.

In such a game, the turning point was created by an individual mistake. In the fifth minute of injury time, Luke Shaw accidentally handled the ball in the penalty area. VAR and the referee awarded Brighton a penalty. Alexis MacAllister successfully converted to score the only goal of the match.

Despite losing 0-1 to Brighton, Man Utd are still fourth in the Premier League table. The Red Devils are four points ahead of Liverpool and have a game in hand.
