Mbeumo’s Late Strike Sends Manchester United into Top Four

Manchester, UK – Bryan Mbeumo’s dramatic stoppage-time goal secured a 4-2 victory for Manchester United over Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Saturday, lifting the Red Devils into fourth place in the Premier League.

United, under the guidance of coach Ruben Amorim, continued their resurgence, securing their third consecutive league win. Matheus Cunha opened the scoring with a stunning strike, followed by a deflected goal from Casemiro. Mbeumo then added his first of the game, seemingly putting United in a commanding position.

However, former United player Danny Welbeck sparked a Brighton comeback with a well-placed free kick, and Charalampos Kostoulas’ late header threatened to snatch a draw. But Mbeumo remained composed, unleashing a powerful shot in the 96th minute to seal the victory.

“I enjoy it a lot here,” said Mbeumo after the game. “We put ourselves in a really difficult position,” said Welbeck.

The win marks United’s first run of three consecutive league victories since August 2024, showcasing the progress made under Amorim. While Brighton fought hard, they ultimately remain in 12th place.
