Fabian Hürzeler probably did not foresee such a satisfactory start to the season on his roadmap. In terms of points, at least, since the new Brighton coach and his players have six after two Premier League games. The big win obtained last weekend at Everton (0-4) was confirmed on Saturday at home against Manchester United (2-1).
The American coach, only 31 years old, successor to the Italian Roberto de Zerbi who left for Marseille, particularly appreciated Joao Pedro’s diving header. It was the end of added time in the second half when the Brazilian striker beat André Onana (2-1, 90th + 5).
Danny Welbeck, formerly of Manchester United, opened the scoring (1-0, 32nd) before the equaliser by Amad Diallo, the young Ivorian striker of the Red Devils.
