Match Events
3' OFFSIDE! Fellaini's goal disallowed!
Young and Martial break off from the wall, Rashford plays the ball through the gap and Fellaini's upper leg forces the ball in. He's half a yard offside though and the flag is up before he even touches it. Top reffing.
20' SAVE! Murray and De Gea go head-to-head and the Spaniard comes out on top. Murray takes aim with a bouncing ball from 25 yards out, strikes a beautiful volley towards the near corner and De Gea gets across brilliantly to palm it behind for a corner.
34' SAVE! Sloppy play from United again, this time through Fellaini, gifts Brighton the ball in the United half. They work it wide and back inside, Gross has a shot at the near post and De Gea pushes the ball behind.
57' GOAL! Brighton 1-0 Man Utd (Gross)
Gross' header gives Brighton a deserved lead, with a little bit of help from goal-line technology. Izquierdo overruns the ball towards the goal-line, pulls it back to keep it in play and Gross nods goalwards, where Rojo might clear off the line. Does he? It takes Craig Pawson a good few seconds to decide, but he eventually gives a goal!
87' MISS! Lingard receives the ball from Martial, races past Duffy and with the goal at his mercy somehow plants it beyond the far post. Duffy got back to bring down the United man, but even his calls for a penalty are half-hearted.
