EPL: Manchester United’s revival continues with 2-1 win over Brighton

Manchester United stretched their perfect run under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a 2-1 home defeat of Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League (EPL) on Saturday.
Manchester United have now won seven from as many games in all competitions under their caretaker manager.
The result provisionally lifted Manchester United one place up to fifth on 44 points from 23 games, three more than sixth-placed Arsenal, who took on Chelsea later on Saturday.
Manchester United stormed into a two-goal lead through Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford in the first half.
They however faded in the second and served up a nervy finish to their fans after Pascal Gross pulled one back for battling Brighton.
Pogba opened the scoring with a 27th minute penalty kick and Rashford made it 2-0 in the 42nd minute with a superb individual goal.
Rashford beat his marker with dazzling footwork before hitting the top corner from a tight angle on his 150th appearance for Manchester United.
Gross reduced the arrears out of the blue in the 72nd minute.
He drilled in a close-range shot off the underside of the bar after Davy Propper floated in an inch-perfect cross with the outside of his foot.
Manchester United, who missed several chances to increase their lead in the opening hour, were forced to hang on in the closing stages.
The visitors pounded a flurry of crosses into the penalty area for a nail-biting finish.
