Manchester United’s resurgence under Ruben Amorim seems unrealistic after another defeat to hand the Old Trafford outfit
Brighton made light work of Manchester United to hand Old Trafford outfit a 3-1 defeat in one of the four Premier League matches played on Sunday.
Brighton capitalised on a disastrous mistake from Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana to score their third goal and seal the victory.
Amad Diallo has become the go-to player at Manchester United in the last two months, but what has really made the Ivorian undroppable since Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim took charge at Old Trafford?
This was United’s fourth defeat in five Premier League home games and left Ruben Amorim’s side rooted in the bottom half of the table. The visitors were already leading thanks to goals from Yankuba Minteh and Kauro Mitoma when Onana came sliding out to collect a low Yasin Ayari cross.

In another match, Nottingham Forest moved level on points with second-placed Arsenal after withstanding an unlikely comeback by bottom club Southampton at the City Ground.

The EPL has entered a crucial stage. Title fight is heating up, relegation battle is a looming for most teams and fight for Champions League places gets even tougher.
The hosts looked in total control with a 3-0 lead inside 41 minutes, only for a fortuitous Jan Bednarek goal and Paul Onuachu’s thumping header – in the first of 12 added minutes – setting up a tense and thrilling finale.
Meanwhile, Everton started the road to recovery under returning manager David Moyes and piled more pressure on his struggling Tottenham counterpart Ange Postecoglou with an impressive 3-2 victory at Goodison Park.
Spurs were shambolic for long periods as they were overrun by a resurgent Everton, who had won only three Premier League matches this season – scoring 15 goals – before this game. Everton deservedly led 3-0 at the interval, then survived a late Spurs revival as the scoreline was given an appearance that did not reflect the difference between the sides.
