LONDON: Former English Premier League champions Manchester United make a spectacular comeback. At Old Trafford, his hometown
United beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0. Superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Hernandez scored. Yesterday saw Cristiano’s answer to not scoring a goal so far this year. Manchester United came out on top following three games.
United faded in the first half. Sixty percent of Brighton’s possession of the ball smelled subversive. Goalkeeper David de Gea’s saves make the game goalless. United came out on top in the second half. United took the lead in the 51st minute through Cristiano Ronaldo.
It was a pressing by Dalot that brought the ball to the star. Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled past the Brighton players and scored with a bullet. Then in the 54th minute Brighton defender Dunk was shown a red card and sent off.
The red card was awarded for fouling Elanka. Since then, United have had several opportunities. Brighton goalkeeper Sanchez’s superb goal was blocked. Fernandes doubled the lead in the seventh minute of injury time. It was through a counter-attack that Bruno scored the second goal to secure the victory. With the win, United returned to the top four with 43 points.
