#1 Brighton show huge promise

were

impressive against Man United

Brighton have been booted out of the FA Cup but they will exit the tournament with their heads held up high.

Chris Hughton’s side played with a lot of energy and often gave Man United a run for their money despite playing away from home.

The Seagulls lie in 12th-position in the Premier League table but are not far off the relegation places.

However, with promising performances like this, they are sure to avoid the drop. Mourinho set up his side to attack from the onset, but Brighton held their own and were unlucky not to have gotten on the scoresheet.

The Seagulls created numerous chances of their own and could have snatched the equaliser in the first half had it not been for the form of Romero in post for the Red Devils.

It was a promising performance for the away side and they have every right to feel proud of it despite losing.
