Brighton & Hove Albion have surged to six points while Manchester United sit on three after two rounds of fixtures.

Brighton & Hove Albion's upcoming challenges include Arsenal on 31 August, Ipswich Town on 14 September, and Nottingham Forest at home on 22 September. Manchester United, meanwhile, face Liverpool on 1 September, Southampton on 14 September, and Crystal Palace away on 21 September.

In a thrilling encounter at Broadfield Stadium, Brighton & Hove Albion edged out Manchester United with a 2-1 victory in the Premier League on Saturday.

The match was deadlocked until the 32nd minute when Danny Welbeck opened the scoring for Brighton & Hove Albion, assisted by the creative Kaoru Mitoma.

Manchester United clawed their way back into the contest at the hour mark, with Amad Diallo striking home following a slick assist from Noussair Mazraoui.

However, the drama peaked in extra time as João Pedro delivered the decisive blow for Brighton & Hove Albion, with Simon Adingra providing the crucial assist.

'It’s very disappointing,' Erik Ten Hag confessed to TNT Sports. 'Especially when for long parts of the game you have control. We controlled the game in possession, and we were doing so well. We [conceded] two unnecessary goals, very avoidable,' he added.

Brighton & Hove Albion will turn their attention to Arsenal, Ipswich Town, and Nottingham Forest in the coming weeks. Manchester United's forthcoming fixtures include showdowns with Liverpool, Southampton, and Crystal Palace.
