BRIGHTON, England: Manchester United beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-2 away in the Premier League on Saturday after an incredible final in which Bruno Fernandes scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in the ninth minute of the discount time.

Neal Maupay had given up the one-handed penalty, prompting a VAR review, after referee Chris Kavanagh blew the whistle full-time.

Kavanagh finally gave the penalty and Fernandes lunged into the net from the spot, moments after Solly March tied for Brighton in the fifth minute of overtime.

A brilliant solo shot from Marcus Rashford had given United the lead in the 55th minute after Rashford and Mason Greenwood canceled the offside goals and Brighton saw a penalty decision overturned by a VAR review.

Brighton, who hit the wood five times, took the lead when Maupay coolly scored a penalty in the 40th minute after a Fernandes foul.

But the visitors soon leveled with an own goal from Brighton defender Lewis Dunk, who tried to prevent United captain Harry Maguire from reaching a Nemanja Matic pass after a free kick, but instead sent the ball into the net. .
