Manchester United capitalized on the momentum and took the lead midway through the first half. Matheus Cunha, a summer signing, scored his first goal for the team with a well-placed shot from the edge of the area.

The second goal was not as elegant, but it helped ease any nerves in the crowd. A loose pass by Jan Paul van Hecke was pounced upon by Luke Shaw, who found Casemiro, whose 25-yard shot deflected off Yasin Ayari and into the net.

Goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen kept his team in the game with a spectacular save from Bruno Fernandes just after the restart. However, the Seagulls' reprieve was short-lived.

Manchester United dominated the second half, and their third goal was a result of a well-executed move. Although there was controversy surrounding the build-up, Bryan Mbeumo scored from the edge of the area to put the game out of reach for Brighton.

Brighton's best chance to get back into the game came in the final minutes, but they were unable to equalize. Charalampos Kostoulas scored a late consolation goal, but it was too little, too late. Mbeumo sealed the win with a fourth goal in stoppage time, securing three points that moved Manchester United into the top four, at least temporarily.
