Kobbie Mainoo bagged a brace for Manchester United U21s but it was not enough for the Reds as they drew 3-3 at Leigh Sports Village to Brighton and Hove Albion.
United took the lead in the first half as a corner found Mainoo unmarked to volley home. The Seagulls equalised less than ten minutes later though as the Reds' defence failed to close down Todd Miller who, given the freedom, picked out the top corner.
The visitors turned the game on its head shortly after the interval when Radek Vitek couldn't get down quick enough to prevent Antef Tsoungui finding the bottom corner. Brighton's lead did not last for long though as Mainoo continued his knack of being in the right place at the right time to fire in his second.
