Brighton centre-back Lewis Dunk has admitted that he made it his mission to keep Cristiano Ronaldo at bay ahead of Saturday's 4-0 win over Manchester United at the Amex Stadium.
The Seagulls — who were without a win on their own patch since Boxing Day — cruised to a first home win of 2022, making mincemeat of a lifeless and dejected United side. Moises Caicedo handed them a half-time lead before three goals in the space of 11 second-half minutes put them 4-0 up by the hour mark.
Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard all got in on the act in the opening 15 minutes of the second-half to inflict a fifth successive away defeat on Ralf Rangnick's side. United were second-best from the first whistle and rarely threatened Robert Sanchez in the Brighton goal.
