Manchester United clinched a 4-2 victory over Brighton in Saturday evening's Premier League match.
Ruben Amorim celebrated his third consecutive win, following the biggest triumph of his career against Liverpool at Anfield last weekend, with a solid performance against the Seagulls.
United's goals came courtesy of Matheus Cunha, Casemiro and Bryan Mbeumo, before Danny Welbeck netted a free-kick to give Brighton a glimmer of hope.
Charalampos Kostoulas added a late goal for Brighton, but Mbeumo's second sealed the deal for United.

Senne Lammens, 6 - Since making his debut against Sunderland, he's been a breath of fresh air. He made several crucial saves, including one to deny Yankuba Minteh when United were two goals ahead, but should have stopped Welbeck's free-kick.
Leny Yoro, 6 - Brought back into the team due to Harry Maguire's absence through injury. Had a few wobbly moments in the first half, but recovered to put in a respectable performance, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Matthijs de Ligt, 7 - Possibly having the best season of his career. He's been impressive this season, and the crowd erupted when he made a crunching tackle in the second half.
Luke Shaw, 7 - Substituted in the 64th minute due to an injury. United supporters will be hoping it's nothing serious as Shaw has rebounded well after a disappointing showing in the Manchester derby.
Amad, 7 - Unstoppable at times against Liverpool and looked sharp again on the right wing. Was denied a penalty in the first half.
Casemiro, 7 - Scored via a heavily deflected shot. The 33 year old disrupted play, made crucial interceptions and put in another solid performance.

Bruno Fernandes, 7 - Marked his 300th appearance for the club with a masterful turn just before half-time and set the pace from the middle of the pitch. Delivered quality in the final 10 minutes as Brighton attempted a comeback.
Diogo Dalot, 6 - Didn't offer much in attack but was reliable in defence. Dalot's preferred position is on the right, so he deserves praise for adapting to the left side in recent games.
Bryan Mbeumo, 8 - Mbeumo and Cunha were the standout performers. He's hit the ground running since joining from Brentford and fully deserved his brace.
Benjamin Sesko, 7 - Had opportunities to score but fell just short. The Slovenian is beginning to find his rhythm at Old Trafford.
Matheus Cunha, 8 - His first goal since transferring from Wolves in the summer was worth the wait. He shone in the closing stages at Anfield and once again demonstrated his value with an outstanding performance.
