BBC Online :
Joao Pedro headed home a dramatic 95th-minute winner for Brighton who extended their 100% start of the season at the expense of Manchester United.
United thought they had won the game themselves when Alejandro Garnacho turned home Bruno Fernandes’ low cross 18 minutes from time.
However, that effort was ruled out for offside following a VAR check as the ball struck fellow substitute Joshua Zirkzee just before it crossed the line.
So Pedro was able to win it and give Fabian Hurzeler a dream start as Brighton manager after being left on his own to convert Simon Adingra’s far-post cross.
Former United striker Danny Welbeck had given the hosts a first-half lead with his fifth Premier League goal against his old club, then hit the crossbar with a second half header as Brighton scented blood.
United briefly took control after Amad Diallo had levelled on the hour but once Garnacho’s effort had been ruled out, the nearest they came was long-distance efforts from Scott McTominay and Casemiro, neither of which found their target.
The winner created a party atmosphere at the final whistle, with Hurzeler, about whom there has been so much doubt following his appointment at the age of just 31, clearly elated and Billy Gilmour, who has been linked with Napoli, named man of the match, to more cheers from the home fans, who want the Scot to stay.
Every time Brighton change managers, it seems some feel it will be the trigger for a fall from grace.
The critics were wrong when Graham Potter replaced Chris Hughton, incorrect when Roberto de Zerbi took over after Potter left for Chelsea and they were out again when De Zerbi quit and Hurzeler came in.
Each time, the Brighton model proves durable enough to cope.
Clearly, it is far too early to make a judgement on Hurzeler. But after hammering Everton on the opening day, the German could not have had a better start.
There was an element of luck involved in this success given Zirkzee only got in the way of Garnacho’s effort because he was unable to halt his slide towards goal after he had missed Fernandes’ cross.
But there was plenty to like about Brighton and with Rutter and Denmark midfielder Matt O’Reilly, who should complete his £25m move from Celtic this weekend, to fully integrate, there is plenty of improvement expected.
Welbeck remains a key element though. The 33-year-old signed a new contract in May that will keep him at Brighton until 2026.
He remains a potent threat and still has the speed and physicality to cause most defences problems.
Welbeck clearly likes playing against his boyhood club judging by the number of times he has scored against them.
