Brighton vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Seagulls hammer dismal United

49 mins: Brighton have picked up where they left off! The home side win a throw in on the right wing and send it into the box for Alexis Mac Allister. He drills a pass across the six-yard box and finds Leandro Trossard on the opposite side of the area. Trossard brings the ball under control then lays it off to Marc Cucurella who runs onto a first time strike and blasts it past David De Gea.

48 mins: Diogo Dalot blocks a shot from Pascal Gross inside his own box then breaks away down the right wing. He knocks it past Marc Cucurella who forces him to run off the pitch. Alexis Mac Allister is quickly across to pick up the loose ball but Dalot dives into a tackle and cleans him out. He goes in the book.

Kick off: Nemanja Matic and Anthony Elanga are hooked at the break by Ralf Rangnick with Edinson Cavani and Fred brought on to replace them.

Brighton restart the game.

Brighton’s Moisés Caicedo has become the 100th player to score his first ever Premier League goal against Manchester United.

Moises Caicedo gives Brighton the lead over Manchester United. Can they extend their advantage in the second half?

45+2 mins: An enjoyable first 45 minutes comes to an end of Brighton who have more than held their own against Man Utd. The Seagulls haven’t won here since Boxing Day but they take a one goal advantage into the break as well as the knowledge that they’ve been the better team.

45 mins: Cristiano Ronaldo is played down the left wing but the pass is overhit and Lewis Dunk takes over possession for Brighton. A frustrated Ronaldo chases after it and slides into a tackle expecting Dunk to pass. He doesn’t and Ronaldo trips the defender picking up the first yellow card of the game.

Two added minutes to play in the first half.

42 mins: Pascal Gross swings a free kick from the right wing into the Manchester United box. Raphael Varane glances the ball over to Leandro Trossard who knocks it back into the middle. Lewis Dunk wins the next header and nods it onto the arm of Scott McTominay who scrambles it clear. There’s a shout for hanball but nothing comes from it.

39 mins: Bruno Fernandes is clipped by Moises Caicedo about 25-yards out from the Brighton goal. Maybe slightly further.

Cristiano Ronaldo sets the ball and shoos away all of his teammates. He takes a breath then scoops his shot over the wall and over the crossbar!

36 mins: Chance! Man Utd want more time on the ball than Brighton are allowing them. Scott McTominay loses it deep in his own half and allows Leandroo Trossard to burst into the box from the left. He shoots but pulls his effort wide of the far post just as Solly March was arriving to provide an option on the other side of the penalty area.
