Manchester United fire their way to fourth place with a 4-2 win over Brighton!

In the ninth round of the Premier League, Manchester United sent a clear signal and won 4-2 against Brighton & Hove Albion. The game took place at the legendary Old Trafford and marked another step towards the top of the table for the Red Devils.

The goals for Manchester United were scored by Matheus Cunha (24th minute), Casemiro (34th minute) and Bryan Mbeumo (61st minute). Cunha, who celebrated his debut goal for the club, scored from a cross from Casemiro. Casemiro then made it 2-0 after Luke Shaw set him up perfectly.

Turning point in the final phase

After the break, Manchester United dominated the game and finally fell into the preliminary decision in the 61st minute with a goal from Bryan Mbeumo, who used an assist from Benjamin Sesko. But Brighton didn't give up. Danny Welbeck reduced the score to 3-1 in the 74th minute before Charalampos Kostoulas made it 3-2 in stoppage time.

In the final seconds of the game, Mbeumo made the final score 4-2 with his second goal. Manchester United not only secured their third win in a row, but also climbed from tenth to fourth place in the table and achieved a Champions League place. Brighton remains in twelfth place with this defeat.

Historic duel

This game was also historic as it was the first time that Manchester United had two different Brazilian goalscorers in a Premier League match. In addition to Matheus Cunha, who claimed the first part of Casemiro's goal, which was deflected into the net, other Brazilian players such as Antony, Alex Telles and Fred also got on the scoresheet in the past.

After the game, Matheus Cunha expressed his happiness about his goal and emphasized the importance of this victory for the team. The next challenges are already just around the corner for Manchester United: they face Nottingham Forest on Saturday, followed by a duel against Tottenham Hotspur on November 8th and a home game against Everton on November 4th.

With the tailwind from this win and the opportunity to climb further, it remains to be seen how the season will pan out for the Red Devils. Fans and experts are looking forward to the upcoming games.
