Pascal Gross’s first-half double gave Brighton a surprise 2-1 win over Manchester United on Sunday as Erik ten Hag’s Old Trafford reign got off to the worst possible start.
The midfielder found himself in the right place, at the right time, to tap the visitors into a 2-0 lead with two goals in nine minutes at Old Trafford, as the hosts were booed off at half-time by their own fans.
However, Alexis Mac Allister’s scrappy own goal midway through the second period, awarded after a lengthy Video Assistant Referee check for both handball and offside, briefly breathed new life into the hosts and their supporters.
Manchester United were however unable to find an equaliser.
Ten Hag suffered defeat in his first Premier League encounter, while Brighton secured a famous and rare win at Old Trafford having drawn just one of their last nine league visits, with eight defeats.
