Glenn Murray's crisp finish sparked a 19-minute goal blitz as Brighton stunned a defensively shoddy Manchester United 3-2 at the Amex Stadium yesterday. Target-man Murray swept home his first goal of the season to toast his 200th Brighton appearance, before Shane Duffy and Pascal Gross left United reeling.

Lukaku scores
Romelu Lukaku found the net amid Brighton's first-half raids, but when Eric Bailly upended Gross to gift the hosts a penalty the Red Devils were effectively beaten by half-time. Captain Paul Pogba struck a stoppage-time penalty for United but Brighton had done enough to earn a deserved victory. United boss Jose Mourinho will doubtless be furious with his side's early defensive disarray — then later their inability to launch a fightback.
