Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
The final round of matches in the 2023-24 Premier League season comes to a close, and at the Amex Stadium, Manchester United score twice late on to seal a 2-0 victory over Brighton! The Seagulls continued their free-flowing attacking performance from the first half, but couldn't breach the Red Devils' defence with Pedro having a shot cleared off the line and Lallana having another blocked within seconds of one another in the best chance of the early stages. United grew into the game as the second period progressed and created opportunities for Garnacho, McTominay and Diallo, before the left-back Dalot popped up in the box to send a clinical finish beyond Steele! Hojlund rubber-stamped the points with injury time looming, skipping through the Seagulls defence before finishing in clinical fashion. Brighton will end the season in 11th place, while three points for Erik ten Hag's side aren't quite enough to lift them above eighth into the European places, with Chelsea and Newcastle also winning on the final day to confirm United's lowest-ever Premier League finish.
