Brighton Mocks Manchester United Fan After Defeating Ten Hag’s Side

• Brighton and Hove Albion took a swipe at a Manchester United fan after their 2-1 loss at the Amex on Saturday
• Fabian Hürzeler's side needed a last-minute header from Joao Pedro to see off the Red Devils in an entertaining contest
• The Seagulls admin clapped back at a Manchester United fan who had commented 'pray for Brighton' before the game

Brighton and Hove Albion aimed a brutal dig at a Manchester United fan following their win on August 24.

Joao Pedro scored a 96th-minute winner to spark crazy celebrations in the South Coast and maintain a perfect start to the season for the Seagulls.

New manager Fabian Hürzeler oversaw his second Premier League win in as many games after last week's comfortable 3-0 win over Everton.

Danny Welbeck opened the scoring from close range, but Amad Diallo restored parity after a fine solo run down the right flank. With the game poised for a draw, an unmarked Pedro headed in Brighton's second past a flat-footed Andre Onana.

Brighton clap back at Manchester United fan

After the game, Brighton's X admin posted

"Pray for Brighton."

The 'pray for' phrase has become synonymous with football banter in recent seasons. A fan would ask others to pray for the opponent they are facing because they will get overwhelmed and beaten.

Who is UTDTrey?

Brighton's post is believed to have been fired back at popular Manchester United fan @UTDTrey, who was in attendance at the game at the Amex.

@ElvisTunde said,

"Admin is cooking Trey,"

@Valking said,

"Wow, they saw Trey tweet."

While @Conn said,

"Bro got cooked by Brighton."

What next for Erik ten Hag?

This was the fourth game in five that Erik ten Hag has lost against Brighton. The early loss of the season sparks doubt as to whether the Dutch tactician is the right person to steer the INEOS vision forward. The Red Devils scrapped to a 1-0 win over Fulham in their first game.

They play Arne Slot's Liverpool next weekend at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag blames three players

TUKO.co.ke has also reported that ten Hag appeared to blame three players for the Brighton defeat.

The Manchester United manager took issue with his players for failing to defend Simon Adingra's looped cross that resulted in Pedro's late winner.
