A last-minute mistake led to Man Utd's defeat against Brighton.

Manchester United traveled to Brighton with many anxieties. Like their two previous encounters with this opponent this season, the Red Devils continued to struggle. The rescheduled Premier League matchday 28 game also lacked a penalty shootout, preventing Man Utd from winning against Brighton as they had done in the FA Cup two weeks prior.

Man Utd lost to Brighton.

Brighton and Man Utd pushed the tempo of the game high from the opening minutes. The visitors had the first chance, but Antony shot wide of the goal. Two minutes later, Brighton responded with a shot from Kaoru Mitoma that hit goalkeeper David de Gea in the face.

Brighton's ball distribution system worked smoothly. Man Utd opted to play defensively, waiting for opportunities during transitional situations. Both sides created good chances but failed to capitalize on them.

In the second half, the game didn't change much. Brighton controlled possession more but didn't create many dangerous opportunities. Man Utd neutralized the home team's key players to ensure safety in front of De Gea's goal. Conversely, Man Utd's attack lacked sharpness and was ineffective on counter-attacks.

In such a situation, the turning point came from an individual error. In the fifth minute of added time, Luke Shaw inadvertently handled the ball in the penalty area. VAR and the referee helped Brighton to be awarded a penalty. Alexis MacAllister successfully converted it to score the only goal of the match.

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