Brighton's Pascal Gross celebrates scoring their first goal with teammates.
Brighton and Hove Albion made sure of Premier League football next season with two games to spare after a Pascal Gross goal gave them a 1-0 home win over ManchesterUnited on Friday.
The German forward headed home a Jose Izquierdo cross in the 57th minute as Brighton dominated the contest and only a string of good saves by United keeper David de Gea denied the home side a bigger win.
The result lifted Brighton into 11th place on 40 points from 36 matches and left them assured of finishing above the bottom three as they visit champions Manchester City on Wednesday before their final game away to Liverpool.
Marcus Rashford and unsettled forward Anthony Martial got a rare start together for second-placed United but failed to make any impact as the visitors looked disjointed and bereft of ideas, with their final pass going astray all evening.
