00:00Yeah, Fabian Herzl got off to a winning start as Brighton boss and one change to their team that beat Everton.
00:06It's the back four that look to build up with possession and they try to get the ball into those two midfield pivots.
00:11Billy Gilmore, who comes in for FIFA in midfield, and James Milner, they'll be the ones to look to set the play up.
00:18In the wide areas, Jakub Minta came off at half-time against Everton with a concussion protocol but was able to play today.
00:25Matoma on the other side is a real threat and Pedro can cause you problems and disrupt United's defending, making runs from deep and up front.
00:34Danny Wilbeck is a former Manchester United academy product who scored last week against Everton.
00:39Funnily enough, he's scored four goals against Manchester United since he left the Reds.
00:43Ten Hag keeps the same start in XI, but it's dotted against Fulham and won by the single goal,
00:48which means Joshua Zirkzee, who got the winner, goes back to the bench.
00:52And on he plays behind a back four where Nusa Mazraoui, the full-back, I thought was particularly good last week with and without the ball.
00:59Looks like good business for United.
01:01Casemiro looks like he's refocused into midfield.
01:04His partnership with Kobe Maneau is so important to protect that back four.
01:08Sometimes it's hard to remember that Maneau's just 19 years of age.
01:11Ahead of them, they speed in the wide areas versus Ahmed in Rashford.
01:15At times I'd like to see them go outside full-backs, not always coming infield to narrow things out.
01:20It's interesting that Manchester United look like they're going with two full snides.
01:24Look for Mount pushing up to Bruno Fernandes.
01:27At times they'll push high to occupy the defence, but will drop into midfield
01:31to give Manchester United a numerical advantage in the midfield areas.
01:40Right on top of the embryonic league table, trying to topple Manchester United.
01:45Both teams in their traditional colours.
01:51And the hope here is that we see an afternoon of positivity from both.
01:57It's game number 636 for Milner today.
02:01Djalo is racing to get there, and does get there!
02:13Passed about by Maneau.
02:18Maneau.
02:20Outflanked in the end by Van Hecker.
02:31Towards Casemiro.
02:35I think he may well have been offside anyway.
02:39Casemiro, Maguire.
02:43Hits Djalo, and there's a nice shape about that, if nothing else.
02:51Mount dunking swiftly and strongly.
02:56And Manchester United have some numbers here.
02:58Three against two.
03:01There is the impetus.
03:03It's raining out a bit.
03:05What can Rashford resurrect?
03:14Just a clear numerical advantage in that previous attack.
03:21Maneau.
03:22And the flag does go up this time.
03:33Djal-Pedro, Harry Maguire left it.
03:36This is Matouma.
03:38And Welbeck scores against the club with which he won the title more than a decade ago.
03:46And it's the 100th goal of his club career.
03:54He doesn't, and he finds his way all the way through to Matouma at that far side.
04:01We've hardly mentioned Matouma or Danny Welbeck in this game.
04:05I don't think he's had too many touches at all.
04:08Welbeck is free inside the six-yard box to tap home.
04:12Matouma does really well, takes his time.
04:15Kicks out his man.
04:17Welbeck just guides it past Anana.
04:22Too many opportunities.
04:25Brighton make the most of theirs.
04:30And he was tempered in his celebrations.
04:34Diallo.
04:36Here's Masraoui.
04:40Diallo again.
04:42And Rashford!
04:44Double save, but not enough.
04:47Neither, though, is that going to be significant because the flag eventually goes up for offside.
04:53And this is subject to a VAR check.
04:57Well, almost the perfect response.
05:02So, it's a wonderful ball from Ahmad.
05:05It does look like he's gone a fraction too soon.
05:09Offside call is confirmed.
05:13And it's in for him.
05:20Sanchez playing advantage here.
05:23Yankuba Minte.
05:28Safe hands to Ana.
05:31Martinez.
05:33Bruno Fernandez.
05:35And Mount!
05:40So all set at the amex.
05:41Great force from the referee with the whistle, one change for Manchester United.
05:44Xherxe on, in place of Mason Mount.
05:49Xherxe, who got the winner against Fulham late on at Old Trafford
05:52in the opening game of the season.
05:54Here's Milner with an early chance!
06:01Jao Pedro.
06:06Martinez down on the floor.
06:08Here's Milner!
06:10And Milner touched it goalwards.
06:12And it was Dalot coming around the back to save the day for Manchester United.
06:20Jao Pedro.
06:23Welbeck, Maguire across.
06:27Manchester United rattle.
06:31Mente.
06:32Welbeck.
06:38Mente.
06:39Oh, Welbeck's header.
06:41Matoma.
06:43Maguire.
06:46Once but twice, Harry Maguire.
06:49Manchester United dangerously close to falling two behind.
06:53He's only got one, he's nearly got a second, his movement's been great all day.
06:58Just to find a couple of yards of space, he's really unlucky.
07:02Talked about Rashford's lack of positivity in the first period,
07:05that man's the same, just picked up the ball and he's standing on it.
07:08It's easy to go backwards and keep possession,
07:11and you'll see him try and take his fall back on.
07:15That's Rowe.
07:16Now a chance for positivity, Amad Diallo.
07:19Inside Hinshaw Ward, deflected and in for Manchester United's equaliser.
07:28Several Brighton defenders left bamboozled on the floor.
07:33And playing a really high line.
07:35I've said that Man United have been reluctant actually to make runs in behind.
07:39Amad has been keen to come to the ball, get the ball to feet,
07:42not run in behind, as soon as he does, this is what happens.
07:46Cuts back inside, bit of luck, the deflection past Jason Steele,
07:49nothing he can do about that.
07:52But that positivity to run in behind, run without the ball,
07:55take your man off and get your shots away.
07:59That was evidence of that from Amad.
08:01And a green line is good news for Manchester United.
08:08That was Van Heckert that played him on, he was the deepest.
08:14It stands and we are level.
08:18Garnacher.
08:20Casemiro.
08:22Plenty of time to get a shot away.
08:25Milner.
08:27Welbeck.
08:30Here comes Mente at pace.
08:35Four colleagues up with him.
08:45And now Manchester United can come the other way with Amad.
08:48Bruno Fernandes.
08:50And Garnacher.
08:54Manchester United
08:58turning this game around.
09:02Goal given on the field, it is subject to be a check.
09:06But Garnacher celebrating and Manchester United believe they are in front.
09:11Tries forward.
09:12But Garnacher celebrating and Manchester United believe they are in front.
09:17Tries forward. He waits patiently for the run of Bruno Fernandes.
09:20He's onside.
09:22Finds Garnacher.
09:23But then does he hit Xerxe?
09:26Is he over the line or not?
09:28That is, I think, the big question.
09:30Is the ball over the line when it actually hits Xerxe?
09:33Or does he knock it over the line?
09:35And I think that Xerxe
09:38may well knock this over the line.
09:42Which means this may not go in Manchester United's favour.
09:46Well, the adjudication is
09:48that it hits Xerxe
09:51when he's in an offside position
09:53before the ball had entered the net.
09:55And that, as you suggested, was the crux of it.
09:58So unfortunate.
09:59Because it's a brilliant counter from Manchester United.
10:04It was an inadvertent touch from Joshua Xerxe.
10:06But it's enough for the goal to be disallowed.
10:12It's Gilmour.
10:15Hinshawood.
10:17Lewis Duncan stayed forward
10:19and the header came in next to him from João Pedro.
10:22Anthony, straight into the action.
10:27Keeping it alive.
10:28And McTominay got it goalwards.
10:30Masraoui.
10:31Casemiro.
10:35Routier.
10:38And it's in.
10:39Routier.
10:42Neat feet.
10:43João Pedro.
10:44Odingra.
10:47Raffle to Enciso.
10:50And he'll...
10:51Shot one.
10:52Which Manana seemed supremely confident
10:54was always going to clear the bar.
11:00Three minutes and a bit to play.
11:02And this is Julio Enciso.
11:07To Odingra.
11:08Van Hecke.
11:09Ayari.
11:10Odingra again.
11:13Big chance.
11:14Big goal.
11:15João Pedro with what should be Britain's winner.
11:29Manchester United left on their knees.
11:32The seagulls soaring high.
11:35Initial corner.
11:36I say they try and grab that six-yard box.
11:41But Brighton keep it alive.
11:42They back off.
11:43They back off.
11:44João Pedro's well onside.
11:46He's two or three yards onside.
11:47Nobody picking him up.
11:49It's a fairly simple header
11:51to guard it into that far corner.
11:52Brilliant pick-out from Odingra.
11:58And it looks as though Brighton
11:59are going to find all three points
12:00and it's in.
12:01It's in.
12:02It's in.
12:03It looks as though Brighton
12:04are going to find all three points again.
12:06Perfect start for the young manager.
12:13Two years ago,
12:14Brighton won this fixture
12:15with a goal in the 99th minute.
12:18Alexis McAllister's penalty.
12:21Today, the decisive moment
12:22appears to have arrived in the 95th
12:25with that João Pedro header.
12:27It's a big day for Brighton
12:30and for their youthful manager.
12:33Fabian Herzog
12:34starts his home reign
12:36with a notable win
12:39in which his bold substitutions
12:42played their part.
12:45Welbeck in the first half.
12:47Jalot's equaliser.
12:49Welbeck hit the bar.
12:51Xherxe saw a goal
12:53in the first half.
12:55Xherxe saw a Garnaccio effort
12:57disallowed because he was offside
13:00and then boldly
13:01João Pedro
13:02five minutes into stoppage time
13:04Brighton 2, Manchester United 1.
