Man United beat Brighton in Premier League for third-straight win

Bryan Mbeumo's brace helped Manchester United secure a third win in a row as they survived a late scare to beat bogey team Brighton 4-2.

The Seagulls had won six of their last seven Premier League meetings with United and arrived in the north-west seeking a fourth straight Old Trafford victory.

But United finally overcame their Brighton hoodoo with a 4-2 triumph, with Mbeumo's goals following efforts from Matheus Cunha and Casemiro as they built on last weekend's win at Liverpool.

That Anfield triumph saw Ruben Amorim celebrate back-to-back league wins for the first time since taking charge last November and this victory moved them up to fourth.
