MANCHESTER, England (AP) --- Manchester United blew a two-goal lead to crash
out of the English League Cup after a 3-2 loss to Brighton on Wednesday.
Boos rang around Old Trafford at the final whistle as United fell to its third
defeat of the season, and second in as many games following Sunday's loss to
Manchester City.
United led 2-0 after 10 minutes against Brighton through quickfire goals from
Shea Lacey and Mason Mount.
But Brighton launched a stunning comeback with Charalampos Kostoulas pulling
one back before halftime before Pascal Gross and Maxim De Cuyper secured
victory after the break.
Defeat means United has suffered elimination from the competition at the
earliest stage for the second season in a row.
