Ghanaian defender Tariq Lamptey played a crucial role in Brighton's impressive 3-1 victory over Manchester United. Lamptey, who recently returned from an injury, provided two assists during the match.

Brighton, under the management of Roberto De Zerbi, opened the scoring with former Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck finding the net in the 20th minute.

In the second half, Lamptey was instrumental in extending Brighton's lead. He provided an assist to Pascal Gross in the 53rd minute, doubling Brighton's advantage. Lamptey continued to shine and contributed another assist, this time setting up Joao Pedro, who scored in the 71st minute, making it 3-0 in favor of Brighton.

Although Manchester United managed to pull one back with Hannibal Mejbri scoring his first goal for the club, it wasn't enough to mount a comeback. Brighton's goalkeeper Andre Onana made several crucial saves, preserving their lead.

This victory marked Manchester United's first home defeat in 13 months against Brighton. The Seagulls have now secured four successive Premier League wins against Manchester United, continuing their impressive record.

Tariq Lamptey, who played for 77 minutes, delivered a standout performance and will be eager to maintain his place in the team. The 22-year-old defender, rated 7.2 for his performance, had a significant impact on Brighton's win.

Brighton's next fixtures include a Europa League match against AEK Athens at the AMEX Stadium and a Premier League clash with Bournemouth, and Lamptey will be looking to build on his excellent form.
