"A Ruben Amorim pirouette and revolving fist-pump greeted Bryan Mbeumo putting Manchester United 3-0 up and told the tale of how precious this third consecutive league victory was. But the goal came on 61 minutes and still United found themselves clinging on at 3-2 deep into added time before Mbeumo smashed home his second, after the Cameroonian ran on to Kobbie Mainoo's pass from the centre circle."
"The Portuguese will not be happy at the late near-capitulation but can be content with how Mbuemo's first strike was the second goalscoring triumph of his tactic of having Luke Shaw move up from left centre-back to harry Georginio Rutter. In the buildup Shaw certainly fouled the No 10, but the video assistant referee was not be interested, and thus United took charge and put Mbeumo in via a cute Benjamin Sesko pass. The Cameroonian's 20-yard finish went through Lewis Dunk's legs and beat Bart Verbruggen to the goalkeeper's near, left side."
Manchester United beat Brighton 4-2, claiming a third consecutive Premier League win. Mbeumo scored twice, first with a 20-yard finish through Lewis Dunk's legs from a Benjamin Sesko pass, and then a late strike after running on to Kobbie Mainoo's pass from the centre circle. Ruben Amorim celebrated emphatically and United rose to fourth on goal difference behind Manchester City. Brighton scored via Danny Welbeck's free-kick following Patrick Dorgu's foul on Yankuba Minteh, and United faced late pressure before Mbeumo sealed the victory.
