    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Defence versus attack with Brighton as deep as the Marianas Trench.

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Anthony Martial's appeals for a free-kick on the edge are waved away.

    Time ebbing away for Manchester United.

    The Brighton fans are ole-ing their way towards the final whistle.

    Solly March on for Jose Izquierdo as Brighton batten down the hatches.

    Brighton fans chanting 'We are staying up'. First time I've heard it sung tonight.

    I think the Seagulls fans have been worried about even uttering the words. A few nervy minutes to navigate but what an achievement it'll be if they can hang on.

  5. CHANCE!published at 87 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Delicious from United on an evening in which they have mostly served up slop.

    Marcus Rashford returns the ball to the on-bombing Jesse Lingard with a deft backheel, but a sliding Lewis Dunk does just enough to put off the United man as he tries to pull the trigger.

    His shot bobbles wide.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 85 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Pascal Gross's header crossed the line for the only goal by only 28.3mm according to Sky Sports.

    Everyone loves goalline technology right?

    Anyway, Gross is off and Beram Kayal is on in a time-soaking substitution.

    Paul Pogba flashes a shot over from 25 yards. He caught it as clean as a whistle, but the trajectory was always taking it into the stands.

    Manchester United are running out of steam rather build up a head of it.

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Anthony Martial loads up as a cross from the right drops towards his left foot.

    His eyes spin round to cherries as he senses the jackpot, but the Manchester United man blasts far, far over the top.

    "Paul Pogba just has to do better, full stop," says Gary Neville on Sky Sports.

    Not a great look when your only problem is just overall poor quality.

    The Frenchman scuffs a shot wide from 20 yards.

  10. Gross has big impactpublished at 21:34 British Summer Time 4 May 2018

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Pascal Gross has been directly involved in 45% of Brighton's 33 Premier League goals this season (15 - 7 goals, 8 assists).

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 75 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Scott McTominay is on in place of Marcos Rojo.

    Nemanja Matic looks like he is going to stand in at centre-half.

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    The visitors are looking open at the back as they start to gamble more.

    The pace of Jose Izquierdo causes them concern again but the Colombian, not for the first time, wastes a promising position.

    Scott McTominay is stripped and ready to go on the sidelines for Manchester United.

  13. Postpublished at 71 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Marcus Rashford catches one sweet from 20 yards, the ball rising off his instep and towards the far corner of the Brighton net.

    But Mat Ryan gets two meaty palms to the ball.

    And the Brighton goalkeeper is equal to Jesse Lingard's effort a few seconds later.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 68 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Time for Jose Mourinho to perform some surgery on this Manchester United side.

    He amputates Matteo Darmian and Marouane Fellaini and transplants in Luke Shaw and Jesse Lingard.

    Looking for a little more quality on the ball in the final third perhaps? His side need it...

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 67 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Pascal Gross tugs the shoulder of Juan Mata's shirt to bring the Spaniard down on the edge of the box.

    Cynical. And he sees yellow for it.

    Could there be a bigger punishment to be extracted?

    Nope. Mata's set-piece drifts tamely over the bar.

  16. CLOSE!published at 65 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    All Brighton.

    Anthony Knockaert leaves Marcos Rojo on the seat of his pant with some delightful quick feet before Jose Izquierdo side-foots a foot wide as the ball was fizzed into his path from out on the left.

    David de Gea was not getting there.

  17. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 62 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    The Amex Stadium is baying for a spot-kick.

    Anthony Knockaert is a flurry of feints and dropped shoulders down right and claims that he has mesmerized Anthony Martial into a trip in the box.

    No dice from referee Craig Pawson.

    But he could have given it, really marginal call.

    Brighton have oozed organisation consistently through the season. The rest of the teams down there have been a shambles at times which is why they are down there.

  19. The situationpublished at 21:19 British Summer Time 4 May 2018

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Victory would guarantee Brighton's Premier League survival.

    A draw would make them safe barring miracles.

    Half an hour to go.

    And they have deserved it.

    Jose Izquierdo's pace down the left stretched Manchester United all out of shape.

    It appeared that the chance had gone for a second after his initial cross was blocked.

    But a second centre is pawed onto the head of Pascal Gross by David de Gea.

    The German's head is booted clear from under his own bar by Marcos Rojo, but referee Craig Pawson's watch beeps to say it has crossed the whitewash.
