SAVED!!! Was that the last chance for Manchester United to save this game? Dalot smashes a long, cross-field ball from deep after the hosts win a free-kick inside their own half, and Maguire meets it at the far post with a low header into the gloves of Steele!

Kostoulas is also booked for his involvement in that fracas, which in truth was instigated by the young Brighton forward.
