    Small scuffle between McTominay and Trossard that big man Dan Burn sorts out very quickly when he comes over to help his Brighton teammate!
  • 87'
    Lingard selfish there after a great run created a big opportunity - he had Rashford in the middle but tried to curl it in from the edge of the box.

    GOAL MANCHESTER UNITED - Paul Pogba with the free-kick that deflects of Joel Veltman in the wall. Pogba celebrates but it will go down as an own-goal that surely now sends Brighton out. The free-kick went through the wall too, Brighton will be disappointed with how they've conceded the goals tonight because they've been the better side overall.

Yellow card

  • 79'
    Veltman brings down Marcus Rashford who wins a free-kick on the edge of the box.
  • 78'
    Brighton keep coming forward to their credit but the added quality of Pogba and Rashford looks like it might have put the game beyond them.
  • 76'
    Pogba with a powerful header that goes wide - should've made it 3-0.
  • 72'
    GOAL MANCHESTER UNITED - Brilliant Manchester United goal, a great move that ends with Van de Beek flicking it through beautifully into the path of Juan Mata who tucks it in beautifully - how good has he been tonight!
  • 68'
    Double change for United: Jame off for Rashford and Ighalo off for Pogba.
  • 67'
    Unbelievable save from Dean Henderson to deny Trossard from the penalty spot - what a chance!
  • 65'
    Brighton still look the more likely side to score but it's hard to see where the goal will come from.

    Trossard on for Gyökeres.
  • 62'
    Great ball into Gross who can't turn it in.
  • 59'
    Dan Burn wins a freekick right on the corner flag - a strange won against Juan Mata for pulling the Brighton player's shorts.
  • 58'
    Brighton continue their dominance with a long period of possession as they continue to search for an equaliser before the offside flag goes up.
  • 55'
    Really poor set-piece that from Mac Allister - miles high and wide.
  • 54'
    Brighton's turn to take a free-kick on the edge of the box, conceded by Lindelof.
  • 53'
    Fred with a weak free-kick after a little delay whilst the ref replaced his vanishing spray!

  • 50'
    Jahanbakhsh off for Neal Maupay.
  • 49'
    Jahanbakhsh is down and going to have to come off - a really concerning one for the Seagulls.
  • 47'
    A great sliding challenge from Eric Baiily in the penalty box - brave but he pulls it off superbly.
  • 46'
    Back underway, what can Brighton do to get back into this!
  • 45'
    Graham Potter goes in chewing his pen, Ole looks much the happier manager as they score at the perfect moment.

  • 44'
    GOAL MANCHESTER UNITED: McTominay and Bailly are both left wide open on the edge of the six yard box. It is McTominay who heads it in but Brighton will be furious with themselves about that one - really poor marking. VAR might have had a look at that if it was in use but Graham Potter will just be gutted with the defending.

  • 43'
    Juan Mata charges forward on the counter-attack after more Brighton dominance, Dan Burns first to bring him down.
  • 40'
    Brighton with another good counter, Jahanbakhsh this time sends the shot over the bar. They are looking more likely right now though!
  • 37'
    Explosive Brighton counter-attack before Mac Allister sees his shot from just outside the box skims the top of the bar.
  • 35'
    Brandon Williams goes down in the Brighton area and then appeals for a foul again, no VAR to appeal to tonight though!
  • 32'
    Bernado looks very positive with a run forward, Bailly won a United free kick off him in his own area after both players went down.
  • 31'
    Brighton win a free-kick after a long period of United possession comes to nothing.
  • 29'
    Fred takes a speculative effort from miles out - Jason Steele collects it very easily.
  • 27'
    Really good play from Brighton as they work it well and Jahanbakhsh forces a good save from Henderson.
  • 24'
    Brighton take their turn to assert some dominance, Henderson picks off another cross and rolls it out to his centre-backs.
  • 23'
    Gyökeres puts a cross in, out by Lindelof but Brighton earn the corner.
  • 20'
    United starting to assert a bit of dominance for the first time today but the Ighalo pass is picked off by the Brighton defense.
  • 17'
    Ighalo hits the side netting after a great ball in from Mata draws Lewis Dunki across. That's the first chance!
  • 15'
    Lovely bit of possession here for the Seagulls but it doesn't come to much.
  • 12'
    Brighton apply some pressure for the first time but the move collapses after a Groß volley is scuffed wide for a throw-in.
  • 10'
    Dan Burns cuts out a United move, behind for a corner.
  • 8'
    The United corner is poor and Brighton come away with it.
  • 6'
    Not much to report here, Lewis Dunk overhits a pass from halfway - Dean Henderson will take the goalkick.
  • 4'
    United just holding possession among the back four, the furthest forward they are coming is just over half way.
  • 3'
    The sides trade possession after kickoff, Brighton get a cross in for the first time tonight.
