Man Utd Beat Brighton 4-2, Climb to Fourth Under Amorim

Manchester United continued their resurgence under Ruben Amorim, securing a thrilling 4-2 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford. This win marks their third consecutive Premier League victory, temporarily lifting them into the top four with 16 points from nine matches—a position they haven't held since the 2022-23 season.

United established a 2-0 lead by halftime with goals from Brazilian players Matheus Cunha (24') and Casemiro (34'). Bryan Mbeumo extended the lead early in the second half. Brighton, however, mounted a late comeback, with Danny Welbeck (74') and substitute Charalampos Kostoulas (stoppage time) finding the net to make it 3-2. Mbeumo quickly extinguished their hopes, completing his brace just four minutes after Kostoulas's goal to secure the 4-2 final score.

This sequence of three league wins is United's best run since Amorim took over in November and breaks Brighton's three-season winning streak at Old Trafford. Following a recent victory over Liverpool, the optimism surrounding Amorim's rebuilding project is clearly growing.
