Brighton confirmed their Premier League status on Friday with a 1-0 win against second-placed Manchester United.
Pascal Gross grabbed the only goal of the game when he headed in on the 57th minute of the match, but it may have not been given without goal-line technology.
Marcus Rojo appeared to clear the ball off the line but the goal decision system showed it had just crossed the line as Brighton moved onto the all important 40 point mark.
United lose to all three newcomers
Manchester United had been beaten at Newcastle and Huddersfield in the Premier League this season – but had never lost away against three promoted sides in a single top-flight campaign.
That has now changed. Mourinho will be worried that some of his supposed superstars appeared to have their flip flops on down by the Brighton seaside. Go into the FA Cup final with this look about them and they will get turned over.
Fellaini isn't worth the money
Marouane Fellaini claimed this week that Manchester United had made a big mistake by not offering him a new contract sooner. He added they could pay a heavy price for their hesitation. Crikey. Really?
Fellaini, currently on £80,000 a week at Old Trafford, wants a two-year deal to stay beyond this summer. Judging by this, he is not worth it. He just does not have enough in his locker.
McTominay is Mourinho's man
Jose Mourinho singled out Scott McTominay at Manchester United’s end-of-season awards dinner, naming the 21-year-old as his personal player of the year.
McTominay started on the bench and watched as Paul Pogba tried to pull the strings in midfield. Pogba's passes were often misplaced and he showed his frustration at his team-mates for not making the right runs. Not his night.
Knockaert bamboozles back four
Brighton fans will not like to hear this, but Anthony Knockaert appears close to being big-six club material. He has an Eden Hazard look about him at times.
Staying in the Premier League would at least give Brighton a chance of keeping him. The 26-year-old Frenchman bamboozled United’s defenders at times here and threaded inch-perfect through-balls, particularly in the first half. A driving force on his day.
De Gea proves his worth again
Minute 20 of this match showed why David De Gea has won Manchester United Player of the Year in four of the last five seasons.
The ball sat up nicely for Brighton striker Glenn Murray, who leathered it towards goal. De Gea flung himself to the right and, with one hand, kept the score at 0-0. Best in the Premier League, but helpless for Brighton’s opener.
Rashford has lots to learn
With no Romelu Lukaku because of an ankle injury, Marcus Rashford acted as a lone striker. The young man loves to run at defenders on the break but his decision-making could improve.
Anthony Martial, starting with Rashford for only the second time in 2018, was left frustrated when the 20-year-old failed to square to him in an opportune position. He will learn.
