Premier League: Manchester United Bounce Back To Beat Brighton, Tottenham Held By Newcastle

Not for the first time this season, Manchester United needed a second-half fightback after a dismal first 45 minutes to take all three points.

Manchester United came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 on Sunday to cut Manchester City's lead at the top of the Premier League to 14 points, while Tottenham's top-four challenge suffered a setback as Joe Willock's late strike rescued a 2-2 draw for lowly Newcastle. Not for the first time this season, United needed a second-half fightback after a dismal first 45 minutes to take all three points thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood. Danny Welbeck deservedly opened the scoring for the Seagulls against his old club before Lewis Dunk hit the crossbar for the visitors. However, Brighton also repeated the story of their season as they failed to make the most of their dominance before the break. Rashford slotted home an equaliser on 62 minutes from Bruno Fernandes's pass to reward United's marked improvement.
