Brighton 1-0 Man Utd: Seagulls Secure Premier League Status With Victory Over Shocking Red Devils
Brighton secured their Premier League safety for next season with an impressive 1-0 victory against Manchester United on Friday night.
Anthony Knockaert and Pascal Gross were standout performers for the Seagulls, and the latter scored the goal that ensures his side mathematically avoid relegation.
Brighton will have been disappointed not to have taken the lead going into the half time break, as the Seagulls had the best of the chances throughout the first period.
They rode their luck just three minutes into the match, when Marouane Fellaini steered Marcus Rashford's free kick into the net, but the linesman had his flag raised from offside.
