Joao Pedro's header in stoppage time handed Brighton a stunning 2-1 victory over Manchester United.

Joao Pedro's dramatic stoppage-time header propelled Brighton to a 2-1 victory over Manchester United on Saturday, intensifying the pressure on United's manager Erik ten Hag.
In the 95th minute, Pedro capitalized on United's failure to clear a corner, nodding home a cross from Simon Adingra, marking Brighton's second straight win under new coach Fabian Hurzeler.
This defeat is a bitter pill for United, who saw a potential match-winner ruled out in the 70th minute due to an almost farcical offside. Alejandro Garnacho's shot, destined for the net, deflected off Joshua Zirkzee's knee, who was in an offside position.
