As the dust settled on the surprise result of this Premier League season’s opening weekend, you were left to wonder whether it was really that much of a surprise at all.
Granted, few expected that the cautious optimism built up over the summer at Manchester United would only survive half an hour of Erik ten Hag’s first game in charge. And when Pascal Gross opened the scoring, nobody thought he would add a second before half time. This was a famous result for Brighton and Hove Albion. Historic, even. The first win at Old Trafford in their 121 years of existence.
