AM: Adam Lallana – 7/10 – Buzzed around and linked play neatly, helping Brighton’s midfield out-think United’s.

Roberto De Zerbi – 9/10 – Slow start was more than compensated for with a brilliant performance after escaping that early pressure. De Zerbi had the likes of Ferguson and Fati to call on from the bench, maintaining Brighton’s attacking threat even as the clock ticked towards full time.
