With a 2-1 triumph in the second week of the Premier League 2024/25 season on August 24, 2024 Brighton guaranteed a spectacular win against Manchester United. Danny Welbeck, a former United player, scored the opening goal at the 32nd minute and Amad Diallo equalised the Reds at the 60th minute. But late disappointment for Manchester United resulted from Brighton's João Pedro's winning goal in the 90+5th minute. After two games, this win maintained Brighton temporarily at the top of the rankings. With practically equal proportion of possession, the game showed 14 Brighton shots and 11 Manchester United ones.

"Thank you United fans for always supporting us"
