After 120 scoreless minutes, United won on penalties with Victor Lindelof converting in sudden death after Solly March missed the target
and co can wait. They slogged it out over 120 unsatisfying minutes with Brighton and just about claimed it on points.that they were regarded as favourites by some beforehand. With Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire all missing, Manchester United’s back five, featuring two players out of position in Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot plus an undercooked Lindelof in front of a shaky David de Gea, looked there for the taking.
It was a game of misplaced passes, loose touches, wrong decisions and dashed hopes. Attacking players of proven quality on both sides took it in turns to ruin promising situations in as infuriating a manner as possible. Marcel Sabitzer’s hopelessly overhit free-kick four minutes before the shoot-out summed up the profligacy.
But after withstanding early Brighton pressure, United began to create promising opportunities towards the end of the first half. The problem was they executed them horribly. An issue that afflicted both sides from start to finish. Brighton began the brighter after the restart, Julio Enciso, the latest diamond unearthed by their South American talent spotters, drawing a superb stop from De Gea with a stinging effort from a corner. Danny Welbeck and Solly March missed reasonable opportunities from set-pieces too, but their biggest moment came late into extra-time when Mitoma’s loose touch trickled towards De Gea as space opened in front of him.
