Brighton & Hove Albion climbed to second on the English Premier League (EPL)table after thrashing rivals Crystal Palace 5-0 at the weekend, while Manchester United players are still struggling to rise above their turbulent start to the season.

Brighton made a blistering start against Palace, scoring twice in the opening seven minutes before recording their biggest win over their rivals since 1956.

Manchester United played a draw away at Leeds, but Bournemouth also recorded their first Premier League win of the season, beating Sunderland 2-0 to move off the bottom of the table.

Bryan Mbeumo gave United the lead 10 minutes before half-time, holding off James Justin to convert Youri Tielemans’ pass. Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised shortly after the half-time break, beating Mbeumo to a loose ball following a corner.

Both teams had opportunities to claim victory, but Bruno Fernandes failed to hit the target for United, while Anton Stach missed a chance for Leeds.

The result left United 13th in the table, with Leeds seventh, three points ahead of their opponents. Leeds also maintained their unbeaten home record across all competitions since March.
