MANCHESTER, England (AP) — This time, Manchester United held on to its lead.

Bruno Fernandes added a late second. United had failed to win any of its last three games despite taking the lead each time.

Helping United’s cause against Brighton at Old Trafford was visiting defender Lewis Dunk getting sent off three minutes after Ronaldo’s goal.
