Misc match information
4-2-3-1. Former forward Danny Welbeck features and scores for Brighton. Shay Lacey 89' is sent off for a second bookable offence after his initial yellow card after reacting to a decision by the referee by bouncing the ball down on the touchline. United are knocked out of the FA Cup & are now out of both domestic competitions at the 1st time of asking for the 1st time since the 1981/1982 season under Ron Atkinson (Bryan Robson's debut). This now means with no European football, MUFC will play only 40 games, the lowest amount since 1914/1915 (39 games). Pressure mounts on INEOS.
