Manchester United battled to an 11th straight home win as Lewis Dunk’s unlucky deflection inflicted a 1-0 loss on Brighton and Hove Albion.
Lewis Dunk’s desperately unlucky own goal gave Manchester United a laborious 1-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.
The defeat was harsh on an assured and enterprising Brighton side, but that will be of little consequence to Jose Mourinho as United recorded an 11th straight home win across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Salomon Rondon’s early opener was cancelled out by Harry Kane as Tottenham had to settle for a draw with lowly West Brom.
Harry Kane scored his ninth Premier League goal of the season but Tottenham’s dwindling title hopes were dealt another blow as managerless West Brom left Wembley with a 1-1 draw.
Salomon Rondon gave Albion and their unheralded caretaker manager Gary Megson an early advantage five days on from Tony Pulis’ sacking.
