Manchester United’s problems mounted as they crashed out of the League Cup after blowing a two-goal lead in a stunning 3-2 defeat against Brighton.
Michael Carrick’s side slumped to their second successive home defeat following a wretched collapse in the third round at Old Trafford.
But Charalampos Kostoulas sparked Brighton’s revival and Pascal Gross equalised before Maxim De Cuyper grabbed the winner to leave Carrick shell-shocked as his team were booed off.
But United’s defensive issues resurfaced in first half stoppage-time when Kostoulas punished poor marking from Ayden Heaven to drill past Karl Darlow.
