Table leaders Brighton & Hove Albion defeated Manchester United 2-1 on Saturday, maintaining their flawless record in the Premier League thanks to Joao Pedro's late winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Brighton opened the scoring when Kaoru Mitoma received the ball on the left wing and delivered a cross that penetrated United's defense, finding Danny Welbeck in the six-yard box who scored against his ex-club with a leg extension. Amad Diallo equalized for United an hour into the game, breaking through on goal, cutting inside his defender, and shooting, with the ball deflecting off keeper Jason Steele and into the net. As the match appeared destined for a draw, Brighton's sustained pressure culminated in Simon Adingra finding space in the box and lofting the ball over United's defenders to an unguarded Pedro, who headed it in for their second victory of the season.
