Brighton Strike Late Against Manchester United After Zirkzee’s Offside Controversy

Brighton secured a 2-1 victory over Manchester United, thanks to Joao Pedro’s header in the fifth minute of injury time.

The match took a comical turn when Joshua Zirkzee, attempting to meet a cross from Bruno Fernandes, inadvertently blocked Alejandro Garnacho’s goal-bound shot with his knee while in an offside position.

This unfortunate incident denied United a potential winner and allowed Brighton to capitalize on their chance.

Danny Welbeck opened the scoring for Brighton in the first half, with Amad Diallo equalizing for United on the hour mark.

Despite United’s efforts, Pedro’s late goal ensured Brighton’s second consecutive win under new coach Fabian Hurzeler.
