Manchester United surrenders a goal in the 95th minute.
This marks the sixth instance of a defeat occurring during stoppage time since 2022.
Brighton is a team that consistently poses a challenge for Erik ten Hag.
Joao Pedro’s goal in the 95th minute secured a victory for Brighton. This marked the sixth occurrence within a span of two years in which Erik ten Hag’s team achieved such a feat. United suffered a defeat due to a goal scored in the period of time after the 90th minute. No club has achieved as many records over the specified period. Initially, United conceded a goal at the Amex Stadium when Danny Welbeck, playing against his former club, scored. Amad Diallo scored the equaliser, followed by Alejandro Garnacho’s goal that seemed to give the Red Devils a 2-1 lead. However, Joshua Zirkzee tapped the ball into the goal from an offside position. Pedro’s final desperate header resulted in Ten Hag’s first loss of the 2024-25 Premier League season, occurring in only the second week.
Brighton is a team that consistently poses a challenge and difficulty for Manchester United. The Seagulls have emerged victorious in five out of the last six encounters in the Premier League between the two teams. Additionally, United have a higher percentage of losses versus the Seagulls in the competition compared to any other team.
United will have a challenging match on September 1 when Liverpool visits Old Trafford. Arne Slot has assumed leadership of the Merseysiders, who continue to be a difficult adversary. Brighton’s perfect start in the Premier League will face a significant challenge when they visit Arsenal the day before.
