Manchester United extended their Premier League resurgence on Saturday with a thrilling 4–2 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, sealing three consecutive league victories for the first time in 20 months.

Matheus Cunha opened his United account with a calm finish before Casemiro’s deflected strike doubled the lead.

Bryan Mbeumo’s brace later ensured the result, despite a late scare from former Red Devil Danny Welbeck and Charalampos Kostoulas.

The win marked a significant turnaround for United, who had lost their last three home meetings with Brighton.

Meanwhile, Chelsea’s inconsistency continued as they fell 2–1 to Sunderland at Stamford Bridge, conceding in stoppage time.

Alejandro Garnacho’s early goal against his former club looked to have set the tone, but Wilson Isidor equalised before Chemsdine Talbi’s dramatic late winner silenced the home crowd.

The contrasting results leave United climbing toward the top four, while Chelsea’s hopes of breaking into the Champions League spots took another hit in a frustrating evening for the Blues.
