Luck was allied this Saturday with a Manchester United that took all three points in a match in which Brighton & Hove Albion shot five times at the post and in which they were saved by a penalty called by VAR in discount (2- 3). Recall that the Colombian Stiven Alzate started at the premises and played the entire match.
The ‘Red Devils’ had to overcome Brighton’s initial goal in another weak match by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, but they found a draw in the discount that sank them, until the VAR appeared to seal the victory.
A penalty committed by Bruno Fernandes and converted ‘a la panenka’ by Maupay put the ‘Gaviotas’ ahead, but, despite the fact that United had practically not come close in the first half, just before the break, a lateral foul produced the tie.
Nemanja Matic touched the lateral throw in the far post and Harry Maguire appeared in the small area to just touch the ball and send it to the net. Before, Brighton had already encountered wood three times.
His luck would worsen further in the second half, when in addition to crashing twice with the stick, Marcus Rashford took advantage of a great pass from Fernandes, to attack from the left wing, threatening the defender three times and ending up scoring with a left foot. .
Brighton did not tire of attacking and secured the well-deserved equalizer in the 94th minute, when Solomon March happily finished off a cross from the right.
There was a minute left in the game and United went up in search of the miracle and this came when in the last play of the game, a Maguire header touched Maupay’s hand. Fernandes transformed the maximum penalty and the three points, with more fortune than other things, went to Manchester.
United have the first three points of the season, while Brighton, after three games, also have three units. EFE
