Roberto De Zerbi claimed that Brighton’s latest victory over Manchester United was ‘no surprise’ as his team celebrated a fourth straight win in Premier League meetings between the two clubs.

Brighton moved into fourth place in the table after ending United’s 31-game unbeaten run at Old Trafford, and De Zerbi admitted that they could have scored even more goals in a 3-1 win after Andre Onana pulled off a point-blank save from Ansu Fati in injury-time.

Asked how a club with Brighton’s limited budget can keep beating United, De Zerbi said: ‘Football is nice because the small team can win in every moment. I think Brighton is becoming not a big team, but it is not a surprise.

‘We are used to working in our style, we are playing with courage, we defended at Old Trafford man to man all the time and we kept the ball in every situation.

‘In the first half, we suffered a lot with the pressure, but after that we played a great game.’

Another sign of Brighton’s progress will be the club’s first ever appearance in Europe when they face AEK Athens in the Europa League on Thursday.

‘We played a great, great game. We deserved to win, we played well. In the first 15, 20 minutes we suffered a lot because Man United played in a different way than we prepared for but after that we played a great game,’ De Zerbi told Sky Sports. 

‘I think the game was changed when we kept the ball. In that moment their pressure was strong and to keep the ball helped us to control the game and then we have four attackers who are very fast and very good.
