Manchester United suffer stoppage-time defeat at Brighton due to Luke Shaw’s handball

Manchester United suffer a heartbreaking 0-1 defeat at Brighton as Alexis Mac Allister takes advantage of Luke Shaw’s stoppage-time handball to score from the penalty spot. Despite missing several opportunities, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag believes his side deserved to secure a victory. Roberto De Zerbi disagreed, crediting Brighton for their incredible front-foot display that constantly kept Manchester United off balance. Shaw admits to making a grave error that cost the game and regrets his stray arm making contact with the ball. Although disappointed, Manchester United will look to bounce back from this defeat against their upcoming opponent. Brighton manager De Zerbi feels that their hard-fought victory was well-deserved after losing to Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-final just last month. Brighton’s performance in this match poses questions about their future season, with De Zerbi careful not to get ahead of himself as they prepare for their next game against Everton.
