The ball is set rolling by Brighton as the whistle is blown by the referee. Both the teams will be vying to take to get a head on over the opponent as early as possible.
Brighton’s persistence was rewarded when Brajan Gruda capitalised on a lapse in defensive Gruda exhibited commendable composure to fire in a rebound from close range into the goal to put Brighton ahead.
Mathes Cunha from Manchester United jumps on a lofted pass neat the penalty area but wasn't able execute the header properly and missed the opportunity to strike an equalizer.
Danny Welbeck gets a beautiful pass, giving his opportunity to collect himself and measure the strike but it turns out to be a slight mishit and the ball goes just a bit wide to the right side of the post. It was a close call for Brighton.
The first half the match comes to an end and both set are players are heading towards the locker room. Brighton are leading by 1-0 till half-time courtesy to Brajan Guda.
Second-half underway with the Red Devils wanting to level in this half. Brighton lead via Gruda but the hosts need something or else could exit the tournament in the third round itself.
With not many options from the bench, Man United are looking to bring on Zirkzee and Lacey. Says a lot about the Red Devils, who are looking to salvage their season.
Goes bad to worse for Red Devils! Danny Welbeck scores against his former club as Brighton double their lead at Old Trafford. Darren Fletcher watches on as fans inside the stadium go quiet.
A momentary flash of individual brilliance saw Šeško discard the attention of the Brighton defence. However, the strike lacked the placement required to subvert Jason Steele and an easy save was made at the end.
Goaaalll...! Benjamin Sesko instills some life in the contest with an excellent strike inside the net for Manchester United. A corner was whipped in and Sesko plants his header accurately into the bottom right corner to make the score line 1-2.
That's the final whistle from the referee and with it the six minutes stoppage time comes to an end. The score line say 1-2 and Brighton have once again bamboozled Man Utd. at their home ground.
That's a wrap from our end. We'll meet soon with another blog, until then, bye bye.
