Brighton 1-0 Manchester United
The first half went really well with good attacking football. It's funny when the score is 0-0. Although if Manchester United had an elite striker, they would have almost certainly scored.
United got their first chance right after the game started. Although Fernandes passed to Antony, the winger missed the goal. Then, when Mitoma was on the ball loosely in the visitors' defence, Brighton missed a delicious opportunity. The Japan international chose to let De Gea save instead of letting Enciso in. Ten Hag's side had their best chances for the rest of the half, and Steele, a busy Brighton goalkeeper, stopped Rashford and Martial. Maintain your team's level in time intervals.
It could be said that Brighton secured this victory by putting increasing pressure on Manchester United, who lost the midfield battle in the second half. Shaw made no mistake all night and then raised his hand, which meant another bad day for United as MacAllister scored from the penalty spot. English Premier League standings

After the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner was suspended for two weeks by PSG for a trip to Saudi Arabia, let's look at other similar situations.
Paris Saint-Germain shocked the football world on Tuesday when it announced that World Cup champion Lionel Messi would be suspended for two weeks without pay. It was later revealed that the player had ignored his manager and club, missed training sessions to take a trip to Saudi Arabia, where he had a lucrative sponsorship deal. frivolous.
PSG, determined to set an example of a player who looks increasingly likely to leave this summer, have slightly dampened their Ligue 1 hopes and banned one of their biggest names for a while. critical period of two weeks.
But Messi is not the only top player to be excluded by a club or national team. Indeed, there is a rich history of stars being forced to retire for disciplinary reasons.
Here are some of the biggest stars who have been suspended by their own teams.
Lionel Messi
Messi flew to Saudi Arabia a few days earlier this week, without PSG's permission, to fulfill the responsibilities related to his lucrative sponsorship deal with the Middle Eastern country.
Messi is said to have informed the club in advance of the trip and coach Christophe Galtier has agreed to approve his plans should the Parisians beat or draw Lorient on Sunday. However, they suffered an embarrassing 1-3 loss, their third loss in four home games. However, Messi went to Riyadh anyway.
The club subsequently banned him from any of its facilities, preventing him from training and making official appearances. It is also predicted to be the last straw in a long deadlocked contract - Messi will not be at the Parc des Princes next season.
Mesut Ozil
Once one of the best attacking midfielders in the world, Ozil's career took a serious turn towards the end of his tenure at Arsenal. The Germany international left North London on bad terms when the club refused to sign him in time for the 2020-21 season.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Aubameyang has been a troublemaker at various points in his career. In January 2018, Borussia Dortmund suspended and fined him for not showing up to the team meeting after training. His decision not to run, presumably coupled with his desire to join Arsenal before the transfer window ended, brought his stay in Germany to an end.
His departure from the Gunners about four years later was similar. Aubameyang visited her mother in France in December 2021 and returned to practice a day late. The club promptly stripped him of the captaincy and dropped him from the squad for the next game against Southampton.
Coach Mikel Arteta has explained that he decided to leave Aubameyang due to a 'disciplinary breach'. This culminated in the star striker training alone and being banned from the first team. He left Barcelona within six weeks.
Mario balotelli
Balotelli's career has been a constant source of entertainment, for good and bad reasons. Extremely talented Italians get their fair share
