Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
WIDE!!!! How on earth are Brighton not 1-0 up?? Pedro and Lallana play a delightful one-two in the box and the Seagulls captain lays it off to his striker. Pedro steps beyond Dalot with ease and looks for the far corner with a shot across the face of goal, but drags it just wide of the post with Onana rooted to the spot!!

Some glorious link-up play from Brighton sees Welbeck and Lallana combine to send Adingra careering into space down the right, but the Cameroonian's drilled cross is swept clear by Casemiro!!

BLOCKED!!! Brighton go within a whisker of opening the scoring!! Barco's cross is flush onto the head of Webster, whose downward header is goalbound before Martinez crucially sticks out a leg to deflect it over the crossbar and behind!!

Adingra's low cross into Pedro sees the Brazilian pull the ball back for Baleba, whose first-time shot takes a deflection and skews behind for a corner!

WIDE!!!! Fernandes saunters over halfway on the counter-attack and splits Brighton down the middle before playing in McTominay to his right. The Scot goes hard and low, but can only find the side netting with a powerful strike!!

A fantastic cross-field pass from Webster picks out Barco on the left, and although he beats Wan-Bissaka on the inside, the Argentine's looping cross towards Pedro is an easy one for Martinez to head clear.

WIDE!!! The Seagulls' free-kick is played wide to Barco, who fires a cross into the middle which Webster gets up to but can only glance wide of the far post!!! That's two chances in as many minutes for the centre-back!

BLOCKED!!! Pedro drops a shoulder and charges into the United box, but Wan-Bissaka's there in cover and gets across to block the Brazilian's attempt!

Gross has scored more Premier League goals against Manchester United than he has vs any other side (seven). He’s scored in his last three against them in the competition, with only Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (five), Mohamed Salah (five) and Sergio Aguero (four) netting in more consecutive appearances against the Red Devils.

SAVED!!!! Brighton win a free-kick which is whipped low into the area by Gross, and Moder's deft touch flicks the ball goalwards and forces Onana into a low save to his right!!
