3 points. Amazing feeling at the end, but…..

Defensively we looked very vulnerable today, we can’t give better teams than United that space and those opportunities and not expect to be punished. That high defensive line didn’t work and the players (more so Dunk) were quite obviously frustrated with the system and lack of cover at times.

The result is everything. I get that, but for all the attacking quality we now have, we have and must be better in defence. Play like that next week and Arsenal will tear us apart.
That's cool, because the large majority aren't better than Manure.

It’s amazing as a Brighton fan I’m looking at this game as us being at least their equal. 6 years ago happy to nick something off them, now it’s a very different story.
I was thinking pretty much the same. Back then we saw games.this as a free kick, expect to lose but you never know we might get a point. Now I look at all the games as one we can win. So relieved we now have a lot of depth to the squad. This.has the potential to be an outstanding season.

Very much. When they equalised, I was actually disappointed. As the clock wound down, I was sad that we, little old Brighton, weren’t winning against Manchester United. Crazy times and just shows how far we have all come.

Yep, many a team might also settle for the point, but we bring on Enciso, Ayari, Rutter and Adingra - only thought was to win the game.

Great performance by the team but also got to give it to the refs and VAR after my pre-match expectations. We've had so many games against big 6 and especially manure where the VAR changed the result incorrectly and negatively. But I thought for a 2nd game in a row they were excellent. For and against us.
A very good ref and allowed game to flow. Not too trigger happy with cards for both sides. Everton ref was good too.

BIG rumours on Twatter that Ten Hag could be about to be sacked. Apparently today was an ultimatum result. They certainly didn’t play like it.

I reckon he’s gone by the end of the weekend.

Ps how shit was Rashford? Utter turd

I think far less than the 62 we conceded under RDZ last season.
RDZ did set the bar pretty high with goals conceded.
Even so we looked alamingly wide open at times today, and got our pockets pinched in defence. So we could let a fair few in.
But hey, fantastic win.

Potter next? Ashworth is there after all. Rumours have started with less. :D
