Sun Jan 19 21:07:39 UTC 2025: ## Brighton Stuns Manchester United at Old Trafford
**Manchester, England** – Brighton & Hove Albion handed Manchester United a 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday, ending the Red Devils’ hopes of securing consecutive Premier League wins. The match, played in memory of Manchester United legend Denis Law who passed away on Friday, saw a thrilling encounter that ultimately favored the visitors.
Yankuba Minteh opened the scoring for Brighton in the fifth minute, only for Bruno Fernandes to equalize with a penalty shortly after. However, Minteh assisted Kaoru Mitoma’s goal just after the hour mark, and Georginio Rutter capitalized on an Andre Onana error to seal the victory for Brighton. Rutter’s goal, which involved a clever touch around Onana and defender Matthijs de Ligt, made it 3-1.
Despite late substitutions by Manchester United manager, bringing on attacking players like Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, and Alejandro Garnacho, Brighton held firm. While Manchester United had periods of pressure, they were unable to overcome Brighton’s determined defense and clinical finishing.
The win moves Brighton up to ninth place in the Premier League table with 34 points, while Manchester United remain in 13th position with 26 points. This was Brighton’s third consecutive Premier League win at Old Trafford – a first in their history. Their next match is against Everton at home on Saturday. Manchester United face Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday before travelling to Fulham for a Premier League clash on Sunday.
