Further results – Man United crash out
And the final two results this evening are now in. It’s disaster for Man United as they squander a 2-0 lead to crash out at the hands of Brighton 3-2.
Charalampos Kostoulas pulled a goal back before half-time before Pascal Gross equalised on 65 minutes and Maxim De Cuyper hammered home the winner 20 minutes from time. More questions for Michael Carrick…
In the other all-Premier League clash this evening, Coventry’s dismal start to the season continued as they went down 3-1 at home to Aston Villa. Nothing going right for the Sky Blues at the moment

Mikel Arteta says Max Dowman ‘a joy’ to work with
“A joy to have him, Marli (Salmon) as well,” Arteta said. “Max, yeah, it’s inevitable to talk about him when he scores and he creates the moments that he has created tonight. It’s normal.
“He can deliver those actions effortlessly, I would say. That’s his biggest quality and defensively, his application, his capacity as well to sustain the actions, which is not easy, he’s 16 years old and he can create moments but consistently to go through the game.”
