BRIGHTON, England — Brighton secured English Premier League football for another season by beating Manchester United 1-0 on Friday. Pascal Gross scored early in the second half and Brighton ended a seven-match winless run. United arrived on the south coast knowing a win would all-but seal second place, but a poor effort led to its first loss to Brighton since 1982. United goalkeeper David De Gea pushed the ball onto the head of Gross and, although Marcos Rojo hooked it clear from underneath the crossbar, goal-line technology confirmed it crossed the line. United belatedly rallied but Maty Ryan saved from Rashford and Jesse Lingard fired wide as Brighton held out.
