Brighton & Hove Albion F.C produced a stunning performance to thump Jose's Manchester United 3-1 at the Falmer Stadium in the English Premier League.

Manchester United were not at their best especially from a defensive point of view as they conceded three goals in the first half.

Murray brilliantly made it 1-0 in the 25th minute to Brighton after he beat Degea with a flick following a wonderful cross from Bong.
 
Shortly after scoring, Brighton doubled their lead through Duffy who unleashed a strike into the bottom corner from close range after Jose's men failed to clear the ball from a corner kick.
 
 
Romelu Lukaku pulled one back for Manchester United on the 34th minute with a cool header from close range to bring Man Utd back into the game.
