Premier League: Joao Pedro’s Stoppage-Time Strike Seals Brighton’s Win Over Manchester United<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last-Minute Goal Keeps Brighton at the Top of the Premier League<\/h3>\n

Brighton & Hove Albion continued their perfect start to the Premier League season with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Manchester United on Saturday<\/a>. Joao Pedro scored a dramatic last-minute winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time, sealing the win and marking a successful home debut for new manager Fabian Huerzeler. The result keeps Brighton firmly at the top of the league table.<\/p>\n

The match began with Brighton striker Danny Welbeck putting his old club ahead. Kaoru Mitoma delivered a precise cross into the six-yard box, allowing Welbeck to score his second goal of the season and reach a milestone of 100 career goals in club football, including six against Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford initially thought he had equalized, but his goal was disallowed for offside. United persisted, and Amad Diallo eventually leveled the score in the second half with a deflected shot past Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele.<\/p>\n

Brighton nearly regained the lead early in the second period when a James Milner shot, set up by Joao Pedro, was cleared off the line by United’s Diogo Dalot. Manchester United had their share of chances, including a controversial goal by Alejandro Garnacho<\/a> in the 69th minute. The goal was ruled out by VAR due to an offside position of Joshua Zirkzee, who deflected the ball.<\/p>\n

With the match seemingly heading for a draw, Brighton secured victory in the final moments. Simon Adingra’s clever chip over United’s defense set up Joao Pedro, who headed the ball into the net. The win marks back-to-back victories for Huerzeler and maintains Brighton’s unbeaten run at the top of the Premier League table after two games.<\/p>\n
