It was the worst possible start to the game for us, as we were 2-0 down at the half at Old United. It wasn't enough. We got a goal back but we puffed a bit and it was a bad start for us.
As a team, we had control of the game and we started the game well. The first goal knocked us off balance. From that time, we stopped playing.
The first goal set us back and we need to not let that happen again. They were encouraged to come forward and attack us because we needed to be better on the ball. At the half-time break, it was a nightmare to be 2-0 down.
It took 30 minutes for the Seagulls to break United's hold on the game. Danny Welbeck hit the ball into the six yard box, where Gross tapped it into the net.
He scored his second goal nine minutes later. Solly March picked up the ball on the edge of the area after they worked the ball down the field.
He took a shot, which was saved by David de Gea, but only as far as Gross, who stuck the ball into the net.
Increased pressure came from United in the second half. MarcusRashford had two good chances to put United ahead, but he failed to convert.
Mac Allister was able to guide the ball into his own net due to a poor decision from Robertnchez.
He hit the ball off Mac Allister and into his net after the goalkeeper failed to clear the ball from the corner.
There was no foul found by the VAR and the score was given.
It was a deserved victory. A great way to start.
When we could, we tried to put them under pressure. The boys were brave and positive. The performance in the first half was very good.
