Brighton beat Crystal Palace 5-0 as Manchester United draw at Leeds

Brighton beat Crystal Palace 5-0 at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, 18 October, after scoring three times in the opening 10 minutes. In another Premier League match that day, Manchester United drew 1-1 at Leeds, leaving them with one win from their first seven league games of the season, the Associated Press reported.

How Brighton's 5-0 win over Palace unfolded

Jaydee Canvot's own goal put Brighton ahead before Diego Gómez struck from the halfway line to make it 2-0, according to the Guardian's match report. Yasin Ayari added a third as Brighton built its lead inside 10 minutes. The full-time score extends the earlier NewsJaws report on Gómez's halfway-line goal to the completed match result.

The Guardian reported that Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler had urged his players to shoot more often from distance this season. It said Brighton had already scored four league goals from outside the box before this match, the most in the division at that point. Gómez's strike came during a rapid start that left Palace three goals behind before the game was 10 minutes old.

Calvert-Lewin earns Leeds a draw against Manchester United

At Leeds, Bryan Mbeumo put Manchester United ahead in the 35th minute, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised for the home side in the 51st, according to the Associated Press. The 1-1 final score confirms the result covered in NewsJaws' earlier report on the Leeds draw; United's winless outing also followed the pre-match report that defender Lisandro Martínez was available for the trip.

Martínez started for United and was substituted at half-time, when his side still led 1-0, AP reported. The draw meant United had taken one victory from seven league fixtures. AP also reported that the match came four days after Martínez made an outburst following a Champions League defeat; its account did not detail those comments.
