Zidane Iqbal snatches late win for Man Utd against Brighton in U23 clash featuring Phil Jones and Dean Henderson

TALENTED teenager Zidane Iqbal scored a stoppage time winner as Manchester United U23s beat Brighton 2-1 in a game that also featured Phil Jones and Dean Henderson.

The 18-year-old midfielder struck in the 93rd minute with a venomous low drive to hand them the win in the Premier League 2.

Jones and Henderson, who are attempting to break back into the first team set-up, started the match as they look to re-find some form.

Shola Shoretire and Anthony Elanga also lined up for the U23s side.

And it was Elanga who gave the Red Devils a first half lead from the penalty spot, blasting the ball into the top corner from 12 yards.

Brighton came back into the match and forced Man Utd to resort to long balls up to Joe Hugill.

The Seagulls then found the equaliser just after the hour mark through Lorent Tolaj.

But United came roaring back in added time as Iqbal fired home to give his side a first win of the season.
