Brighton traveled to Old Trafford on the 22nd day of the Premier League. The Seagulls hoped to take advantage of the Red Devils’ failures to get a result.
The meeting was marked by a vibrant tribute from Sir Alex Ferguson to his friend Denis Law who died on Friday at the age of 84. The former Manchester United manager was a big admirer of the former goalscorer, and the two men had become very close.
There was no need to arrive late at Old Trafford where Yankuba Minteh opened the scoring for the visitors after just five minutes of play. The Gambian was served by a well-known name in our Jupiler League, Kaoru Mitoma.
-After Bruno Fernandes’ equalizer from the penalty spot (23rd), the former Union player once again stood out by putting his team in control of the game. This time, Minteh was the assist for the Japanese who cooled Old Trafford.
Georginio Rutter (76th) killed the match by scoring the third goal for the visitors who won 1-3.
