In the early hours of Friday morning (5), Manchester United were the visitors to Brighton in the Premier League. 38 attempts were made on goal, but the only goal came in 9 minutes of extra time, when United stalwart Rauchisaur gave away a 12-yard goal in a bizarre handball, and Brighton were able to win the game 1-0. United still have a 4-point advantage over Brighton in 4th place, but Liverpool and Brighton are already chasing them, so they can't afford to be too careless in the last 5 rounds of the tournament.
The two teams met in the last four of the EFL Cup last month and played 120 minutes without scoring a goal, but Manchester United exchanged 12-yard shots to advance to the final, and the two sides will continue to play a hard-fought match this time. United had a golden opportunity two minutes into the match, but Anthony Mathias fired a one-touch shot wide, and then it was the turn of the Brighton wingers to bring down the clock.
A single knife, but the shot saved in the Dikia block; both goalkeepers after a number of wonderful saves, so that the battle is stalemated.
Brighton's siege of United began late in the game, with Alex McAleese's shot from a cutback being punched out by D'Aguilar, and Moses Scarp's shot from a narrow angle failing to escape D'Aguilar's five fingers, and it was assumed that there would be an exchange of scores when Raukeyshire suddenly grabbed a rebound off a corner kick.
The culprit of the loss, Lauchisaur, explained after the game: "It was very painful to lose in the last minute, my hand shouldn't have been there, I caused the team to lose the game. I can't explain why my hand was there, I felt pushed by someone and the penalty before the corner kick was wrongly awarded. I don't want to make excuses, but it was a stupid mistake to raise my hand.
Manchester United according to the home to play 33 games with 63 points, more than the 5th Liverpool 4 points and play less games, but a greater threat to this game won the wave of Brighton, they have 55 points, but it is less than the United and play 1 game, if the winners of the game above the Red Devils will only be behind the Special 5 points, the last 5 rounds of the league is still a variable. Manchester United will visit Westham in the early hours of next Monday (8th).
