BRIGHTON, England (AP) — Joao Pedro headed home in the fifth minute of injury time to give Brighton a 2-1 win over Manchester United on Saturday and renew the scrutiny on manager Erik ten Hag.
After United failed to clear a corner, Pedro was on hand to head home a cross from Simon Adingra to secure a second straight victory for Brighton at the start of the season under new coach Fabian Hurzeler.
It’s a result that will be extra tough for United to take as the visitors had a potential winner ruled out in the 70th minute for an almost comical offside.
Alejandro Garnacho’s shot from a tight angle was heading into an empty net when it deflected off the knee of the sliding Joshua Zirkzee just before it crossed the line – causing the goal to be ruled out as the Dutch striker was in an offside position.
Zirkzee had come on as a substitute to score an 87th-minute winner against Fulham in United’s season opener but the summer signing was once again on the bench at Brighton, with Ten Hag playing Bruno Fernandes as a false nine instead.
It was a former United forward who opened the scoring, as Danny Welbeck was on hand to slot in a cross from Kaoru Mitoma in the 32nd.
Welbeck nearly doubled Brighton’s lead when his header from a corner hit the crossbar in the 58th, and United equalized from a quick counterattack just two minutes later.
Amad Diallo cut in from the right and saw his shot deflected into the net by the sliding Jan Paul van Hecke.
