Billy Gilmour 6/10
Billy Gilmour - 6/10. Careless pass handed a chance to United but put in an unshowy hard-working defensive shift. Great tackle to rob Amad who was charging towards goal. Ran his socks off.

James Milner 7/10
James Milner - 7/10. Hard to believe he's 38. He adds quality and composure to Brighton’s midfield. Brought an attacking threat, too, making some great runs forward.

Danny Welbeck - 7/10. One hundred up for the striker – and his fifth against his boyhood club - as he stretched to stab home Joao Pedro’s cross from close range.

Mason Mount 6/10
