Brighton' Man utd

MBM: Brighton won their first home game of 2022 as abject Manchester United were humiliated. Scott Murray was watching.

The club was on its uppers back then, with so much on their mind that they didn’t get round to naming a player of the year. It pings off the base of the post and out for a corner. Trossard retrieves the ball on the left and cuts back for Cucurella, who roofs a rising thrash into the top left! Cucurella traps and rolls infield for Trossard, who strolls into United’s box and lays off for Gross, who takes a touch to round Varane on the left, then steers a shot across De Gea and into the bottom right. 62 min: There’s a long VAR check, but the ball hit Trossard in the midriff. Gross and Mac Allister pour through a huge gap in the United defence. The ball bounces back to Maguire, who sends a low shot across the face of goal. Maguire wins a header and sends the ball towards the bottom left. 81 min: Cucurella is allowed to dribble down the middle, unchallenged, for a good while. We’ve let our home fans down a lot this year, and to come to the end of the season and reward them with that, it was a nice moment. 88 min: Cucurella’s fancy flick down the left foxes McTominay, who then bundles over Caicedo in a mixture of frustration and embarrassment. In an ideal world, you want to get your points at home in front of your supporters, and it was nice to give them a game, a performance, and a memory.
