JAKARTA - Manchester United had to endure shame when they visited Brighton and Hove Albion's headquarters at Old Trafford, Friday, May 5. Appearing at Amex Stadium, Brighton, the Red Devils lost 1-0.

In this match Manchester United had to lose to Brighton and Hove Albion due to Alexis Mac Allister's goal through the spot. The point is again, this goal occurred at the last second of the match, precisely in the 90+9 minute.
"Every defeat is disappointing, but in the end when you lose at the last second, it's certainly annoying," said Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
"And I think the first minute summarized everything. We created good chances, we weren't clinical enough."
