Brighton advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup thanks to a well-deserved 2-1 victory at Manchester United.
A first half strike from Brajan Gruda and an excellent goal from former United man Danny Welbeck did the damage.
"Cup keeper" Jason Steele made two good early saves as he was out quickly to deny Diego Dalot and then prevented a Bruno Fernandes freekick from finding the bottom corner.
Albion's opener arrived on 15 minutes as Welbeck darted into the box and clipped a lovely cross to the far post. Georginio's header was cleared off the line but Gruda was on hand to calmly pass the ball into the net.
Welbeck should have doubled the lead moments later when Senne Lammens somehow gave it straight to the former United man but his shot lacked the power to beat home keeper.
United were poor and their former striker punished them on the hour with a sublime arrowed effort to the top corner from the edge of the box.
United pulled one back with a back post header from Sesko but Darren Fletcher’s men were so limited and Brighton deservedly advanced.
Here’s how the Albion players rated:

10. Brajan Gruda - 8
A nice calm finish to open the scoring from close range and an assist for Welbeck's stunner. His overall performance was impressive and will do his confidence the world of good. | Getty Images

11. Georginio Rutter - 7
Saw his header cleared off the line that led to Gruda's opener. The Frenchman was a real physical presence throughout. | Getty Images

12. Danny Welbeck - 8
Just when you thought you couldn't love him anymore. Involved in the opening goal with nice dinked left footed cross. His goal and Albion's second was sheer quality! | AFP via Getty Images
